On 'human life span'

As I was listening talk on Ted.com (here) on Human Genome and its effect on treating human diseases etc., it reminded me of Surah Baqarah in Quran. I believe that a one-day human life span will roam around 1000 years. And that is purely from scientific research available to date. But, If you read Surah Baqarah ayat # 94 to 96, it indicates that.


Personal note: It was a bizarre interpretation almost 20 years ago when I first started reading the Quran. Over time I concur with Umar bin Khattab that: "This book cannot be human writing." Nothing makes me believe in Islam except the Quran; otherwise, the history and deeds of its followers often make me puke!
