Agreed on the atmosphere and so on, this would have kept out alot of the UV and had alot to do with the much longer life spans pre-Noah

I saw a chart that was drawn up on the ages of the pre-flood patriarchs of Genesis and the post-flood ones. It was quite an interesting chart, graphed on those ages...
The ones that lived after the flood had their ages declining, generation after generation, in a nice curve, going down to our present-day ages. To me, that showed not necessarily, initially, genetic changes but external and harmful changes in the living environment, that caused that dramatic change, and then it held constant, after a number of generations — having reached a new equilibrium, for living in the newly, recently-changed environment.

Oh..., I read recently that one cannot get a sunburn at the Dead Sea, in Israel. It’s depth, below the surrounding surface of the land, makes the atmosphere dense enough to shield out the sun-tanning/burning rays of the sun. You just don’t get sunburned there at all. AND ALSO..., there are some medical centers built around the Dead Sea, too..., because the oxygen content is denser and thus “richer” there and it helps the recovery of certain patients.
Apparently a denser atmosphere has certain benefits that we can even experience today, in certain places on this earth...
