My theory for aging is connected to nervous tissue. Nervous tissue is everywhere in the body, near almost all the cells. They are not there just to fill in space, but rather play a role in cellular differnetiation. If the nervous input around a cell changes, the local cell will changevand stop working properly. With all the nerves wired into the brain, it follows that if the brain was organized just right so it could maintain all the nerves, one could live for hundreds of years.

I don't believe Adam and Noah lived to be 1000 years. I believe the oldest person lived to be just short of 1000 years. (Methusalah???) It also doesn't make sense to me that they'd live longer and something degraded how long they live. It seems that if anything, they'd live a shorter life, because they didn't have the means to deal with illnesses like we do now. But then, maybe God hadn't put these illnesses in place as of yet, becasue he needed people to live longer at the time. Or perhaps the various illnesses hadn't evolved yet???
