Today on CNN they reported that new genetic evidence of longevity was found
among Ashkenazi Jews. A study was done on this group of people due to
their known longevity, and a genetic connection was found. This is the
<http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/10/14/longevity.gene.ap/index.html>report.
Remember that in the descendents from Adam, Noah and Shem, their longevity
decreases from 950 (Noah) to 600 (Shem) and so on through the line leading
to Abraham who lived to 175. Ashkenaz was in the line of Japheth and Gomer
making him Noah's great grandson. Longevity would be presumed for all of
Noah's descendants if the Bible is correct in stating ages, and now a
genetic basis for longevity has been confirmed in this population through
science that does not exist in the general population.
Remember, in my scheme of things Adam is the founder of the Adamites,
Semites (Accadians), Israelites and Jews, though not the ultimate patriarch
of the entire human race. Now a genetic link has been found that is unique
to this particular race of people.
Thank you Lord, I needed that.
