After reading chapter 5:
* Notice the wording in verses 1-4. God created man in his likeness. Adam had a son in his likeness, in his own image. Adam is kind of like God. Poor Eve.
*The ages of the men in this chapter are beyond ridiculous. There is absolutely no evidence that any person has ever lived to much more than 120. On the contrary, there is abundant evidence that ancient man's life was nasty, brutish and short.
*Apparently these men are not only long lived, but they are extraordinarily virile as well. Their poor wives aren't even mentioned.
* If you follow the biblical chronology, you will find out that Methuselah died in the year of flood. He must have been wicked, something they don't tell you in Sunday school.
*In verse 30 we encounter the name Lamech again, and he is said to have lived 777 years. A coincidence? Of course not.
*Notice that every one dies, except Enoch who is mysteriously taken by God, and Noah who is coming next.
