Long ages in Genesis 5 — multiple interpretive views

Mike walks through Genesis 5 ages: Adam 930, Seth 912, Enosh 905, Kenan 910, Methuselah 969. Three main positions: (1) Literal—people actually lived that long, possibly due to purer DNA or pre-flood environmental conditions; (2) Different numbering system—ages are multiples of six suggesting a sexagesimal base-60 system, implying a different numerical encoding, though no one explains what theological message is encoded; (3) Months not years—fails because some patriarchs would father children too young; (4) Cultural hyperbole—known exaggeration that was not deceptive because everyone understood the convention. He also addresses Genesis 6:3 ("his days shall be 120 years") interpreting it as 120 years until the flood, not a cap on human lifespan, since people continue to live beyond 120 in Genesis. Mike is honest that he does not know the correct view.
