On the one hand, many moderate to liberal Bible scholars don't take the longevity of the prediluvians seriously. They think that must be hyperbolic or legendary, since humans can't really live that long.
On the other hand, it's become a scholarly fad to reject dualism for physicalism. To ground eternal life in the resurrection of the body rather than the immortality of the soul.
But if embodied humans can't even live for 1000 years, how can they live forever? Do scholars who doubt the longevity of the prediluvians really believe in the resurrection of the body?
