Michael Rose and a longer life

In a Body and Health article in the National Post (Monday Dec 12 2005), Michael Rose claims that evolutionary biology tells us that prolonging the human life span is scientifically reasonable.
If Michael Rose were to look into the Bible, he would see that his evolutionary biology actually supports Genesis and creationism. The human body was designed not to die, but to live on forever. Even with the detrimental effects of sin, that body lived for hundreds of years!
So the novel idea that Rose believes he has discovered has been known by Christians for centuries. (for other examples, see Overcoming Prejudice in the Evolution / Creation Debate)
