Hi. What I've tried to do in the "summary" section is to summarise exactly what Genesis says, without introducing views. To my eyes it seems that the text is saying quite explicitly that God is limiting the human lifespan to 120 years: ""My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." God is spirit and eternal, man is flesh, and God wishes to set a term to man's days. If you genuinely feel that the alternative interpreatation (God is foreshadowing the Flood) is widespread and important, I suggest simply putting this sentence into the Summary in toto, but without any attempt at interpretation. (Thanks for your other edits, by the way - I have no problem accepting them). PiCo 04:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Belated welcome
Hi Ijkopl, thanks for the vandal info. I find those little vandalism edits more irritating than the big ones because they're so easy to miss. Welcome to Wikipedia (BTW), I see you've been here a couple months, but welcome just the same. :) --Bookandcoffee 20:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
