Back in the days of Adam people were living for centuries. It wasn’t uncommon to have a parent more than a century older than yourself who still lived half a millennium after you were born. No wonder Enoch could feel young at nearly twice my current age. I wonder if they needed so many centuries of life in order to give them ample opportunity to be converted. I can imagine that with the lack of infrastructure and established civilization it would have taken people longer to get settled down and able to focus on spiritual issues in their lives.
