It is amazing Sara giving birth in her nineties However With G_D nothing is too hard

it's not as ''''amazing as you think''' in the sense that after living 900 yrs and the LORD reducing the yrs down to 120... you're thinking in the context of todays '''90'''' years old.

I used to think that if they lived to be 900 then if proportional to our current growth/age cycle then the average person would reach puberty around 144 years and look like a typical teenager at that age. However, this is not the case, because women gave birth young then too, adult men worked through 20s, 30s, and even Sara laughed at the thought of her giving birth, because she thought it was a joke. So, I think she was likely in menopause by then, but perhaps the age rate slowed from 100-900 years? There's no indication I'm aware of that 700 year olds were physically active, running, fighting, etc.
