About this ebook

Longevity Science Backs explores the intriguing intersection of biblical accounts of extreme lifespans, particularly those of pre-flood patriarchs, and modern longevity science. It delves into whether genetics and environmental factors might explain these extended lifespans, not as literal truths, but as potential avenues for understanding the biology of aging. The book bridges the gap between biblical narrative and scientific inquiry, suggesting that ancient texts can inspire innovative research questions.

The book examines two key areas: the genetic basis of aging, exploring genes and pathways implicated in longevity across different species, and the environmental and lifestyle factors that could modulate genetic predispositions. For example, studies on centenarians and supercentenarians provide unique data sources.

It begins by providing a background on both biblical interpretations of longevity and current scientific understanding of human aging and progresses through specific examples of long-lived individuals and species, finishing with the ethical and societal implications of longevity research. This unique approach challenges the traditional separation between faith and science, suggesting a complementary approach where ancient narratives can spark innovative research questions.

The book adopts a balanced and objective tone, acknowledging the limitations of both scientific and biblical interpretations. By exploring potential genetic variations and environmental conditions, the book aims to inform and inspire scientific investigations into extending human lifespan and promoting healthier aging.
