brothers and sisters,

There exist (more than) enough logical, factual, scientific proofs in Islam for one to realize that it is in fact the deen (religion) of God and not some made-up stories by human beings.

That being said, we need to believe 100% in everything which is mentioned in Quran & Hadith, whether it makes 'sense' to us at our limited human level and intellect, or not. We should realize that we have enough logical, factual, and scientific proof for us to not be "blind" believers, so when it comes to some of the things which we need to believe "blindly" because we don't necessarily have the physical proof in front of us, we should believe it just the same as we believe 1+1=2 or that gravity pulls downdwards. There should not be any if's, and's, or but's.

The subject matter of this thread comes under the same I believe, though it's not completely something which we need to believe blindly. There have been plenty of scientific studies citing the fact that humans used to be taller/larger and have gotten shorter in height as history has gone by. As far as the age thing, Quran and Hadith reiterate many times that people who lived before us had lifespans ranging up to many, many centuries. That should be enough for us to believe it.

It is just a bit concerning how far we sometimes go to question our own deen, rather than just believing.

Allah knows best.
