Jan 20, 2017 at 17:12 comment added user10231 @Joshua Wow, that's an interesting take which I've never heard or considered before. It would be great if you made that case in an answer. What people will be looking for is how to decide between the two different takes. IE: Why do you prefer that reading to the idea of each person's lifespan?

Dec 22, 2015 at 15:24 comment added ThaddeusB Related: 120 years until the flood, or until Adam's death, or shorter lifespans from now on?, Is the ESV rendering “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever” in Genesis 6:3 accurate?, Does the original Hebrew support the NLT of Genesis 6:3?, & The Correct Meaning of Genesis 6:3 - Also Flesh or Is Flesh?

I've removed the secondary questions to sharpen the focus and encourage focussed answers.
Dec 7, 2015 at 13:40 comment added Joshua Perhaps there is an overall misunderstanding going on here. The one hundred and twenty years is not referring to the average lifespan of a man, or all men. It is referring to God giving man 120 years until he destroys them in the flood. Whether it is remain or contend (credit to @Susan) either way it is speaking of the life of mankind, not the length of individual men's lives. I hesitate to write this up with more detail as an answer, because it really isn't addressing the question itself, just the preconception behind it. Any thoughts?

Oct 7, 2015 at 13:08 comment added user10231 Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether or not the animals, birds, etc. within which was the breath/spirit of life had to have their lives shortened as well or if they were made subject to death from the get-go?: Brenton: Psa 104:29 But when thou hast turned away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou wilt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust. Psa 104:30 Thou shalt send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Jun 19, 2015 at 0:42 comment added user9841 Check the Moody Bible Commentary by Michael Rydelnik and Michael Vanlaningham. I think it gives a good explanation.
