[Ezekiel Bathfire]

It is an irrefutable fact that before the Flood, the mean average age of death was around the 910 years mark (Lamech’s buying the farm aged less than 900 brought the actual average down somewhat.)

However, by the time of Moses and Eli, the age of death had sunk to little more than what we see today and Jesus died temporarily, tragically early, aged around 33 years.

The great age of the Patriarchs has caused the weak of faith to imagine that there is some fault in The Holy Bible; nothing could be further from the truth. Life is God’s to give and we have it on license, much like you are reading this on a licensed copy of some software. God’s EULA clearly states that life is His to give for as long as He wants and take away when He wants – recently, He’s been in the business of early recall.



But is that about to change? This gimp might live for ever! (On the other hand, she might not… read on…)

American scientists are keenly studying the DNA of a 17-year-old girl who still has the body and behaviour of a baby.

Scientists are hoping to gain new insights into the mysteries of ageing by sequencing the genome of a 17-year-old girl who has the body and behaviour of a tiny toddler.

Brooke Greenberg is old enough to drive a car and next year will be old enough to vote — but at 16lb in weight and just 30in tall, she is still the size of a one-year-old.



Until recently she had been regarded as a medical oddity but a preliminary study of her DNA has suggested her failure to grow could be linked to defects in the genes that make the rest of humanity grow old.

If confirmed, the research could give scientists a fresh understanding of ageing and even suggest new therapies for diseases linked to old age.

“We think that Brooke’s condition presents us with a unique opportunity to understand the process of ageing,” said Richard Walker, a professor at the University of South Florida School of Medicine, who is leading the research team.

“We think that she has a mutation in the genes that control her ageing and development so that she appears to have been frozen in time.

“If we can compare her genome to the normal version then we might be able to find those genes and see exactly what they do and how to control them.”

Such research will be the focus of a conference at the Royal Society in London this week to be attended by some of the world’s leading age researchers.

It follows a series of scientific breakthroughs showing that the life span of many animals can be dramatically extended by making minute changes in single genes.
[…]
“The implication is that ageing is controlled by a relatively small number of genes and that we might be able to target these with new therapies that would improve the quality and length of human life.”

This is the usual garbage by scientists so-called – the real answer is that God does it.

Superficially, Brooke, who lives with her parents Howard and Melanie Greenberg and her three sisters in Reisterstown, a Baltimore suburb, is frozen in time. She looks and acts as if she were a small toddler — for 17 years her family has changed her nappies, rocked her to sleep and given her cuddles.

Brooke has shown some development, including crawling, smiling and giggling when tickled but she has never learnt to speak and still has her infant teeth.

Hardly surprising; if she is going to live to be 1000, age 17 means that she is, in fact, only about 19 months old

But she has also suffered a succession of life-threatening health problems, including strokes, seizures, ulcers and breathing difficulties — almost as if she were growing old despite not growing up.

This may be God preparing to kill off an experiment.

Howard Greenberg, Brooke's father, said he wanted the genome research carried out in the hope it might help others. “If we can use her DNA to find that mutant gene then we can test it in laboratory animals to see if we can switch if off and slow down the ageing process at will.

It seems more likely that this man has had his logic twisted by an unnatural love of a gimp. The only help is from The Lord.

“Just possibly it could give us an opportunity to answer the question of why we are mortal.”

Well, it’s clear that Howard Greenberg is no Christian, if he had been, he would be aware that this question was resolved in Genesis, when Eve corrupted the entire human race.

No doubt scientists are already trying to breed a race of baby pets that are so inbred that they don't grow or ever learn to talk or walk.

Probably a damned joo.

Why can't those people read their own holy book correctly?

That child has little more value that a over ripe grapefruit. LOL, looks like one too.

[James Dewitt]

I would bet money on it that the kids family tree consists of a tree stump, if ya catch my drift.

So it basically seems like God was a little extra creative with this particular mom. It probably gets a little old giving Downs Syndrome babies to all the aborters who decide that now they have enough time to raise a child.
