The Hayflick Limit
On the subject of a human age limit, dubbed “The Hayflick Limit” after a discovery made over fifty years ago:
In rich countries, more than 80% of the population today will survive past the age of 70. About 150 years ago, only 20% did. In all this while, though, only one person lived beyond the age of 120. This has led experts to believe that there may be a limit to how long humans can live…
…Other scientists used census data and complex modelling methods to come to the same conclusion: that maximum human lifespan may be around 120 years. But no one has yet determined whether we can change the human Hayflick limit to become more like long-lived organisms such as the bowhead whales or the giant tortoise.

On the subject of a human age limit, dubbed “Truth” after God declared it thousands of years ago
Then The Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
If the Bible is the Word of God, shouldn’t its claims match up with science? Yes, it should; and, it does. It just takes a while for science to catch up.
As a wise teacher once said, “There is nothing new under the sun…”
