You didn't lay out any other alternatives. What other alternative exists
to Luke's statement concerning Cainan being correct or incorrect?

Having the average first birth at 107 years is not too shabby but I still
think the genealogies are incomplete. I have no problem with the Adamic
lineage living for these types of lifespans. But it just didn't happen in
3000 BC. By the way, an interesting fact from the Mad Hatter, Frank
Tipler. I can't find the reference just now but he said that the human
brain has enough memory for a 1000 year life span.
