The armchair editor in me has come forward, please forgive. This also me reasoning all this out.

Depending on your intended audience, additional reference and discussion may help. Granted this series, along with the Gen11 and Hebrew Astronomy series is presented as something of a first draft. However, I think White Paper format would want to include solid references especially when making potentially controversial claims. I'd venture that this is already in consideration, but it is important to note.

For example, maybe include that the ages listed are drawn from the Masoretic text, and link to something explaining why this was chosen vs the Samaritan or Septuagint.

Less Sin Around is an interesting hypothesis and sounds plausible, but where was this idea drawn from? An academic source? If it is original it may be worth another post delving into further reasoning.

DNA degradation resulting from sin moves into the scientific realm and begs for references, considering the quantity of hard evidence regarding DNA. Same with the Effect of the Sun's Rays. The Water Vapor Canopy hypothesis I have read up on and the science seems tenuous at first glance. However, there are other possible explanations of the source of the rains originating from the "windows of the heavens."

I believe Scripture ultimately supersedes human-discovered facts, but the empirical must be reckoned with.

Proverbs 23:23 "Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding" and Daniel 12:4 "many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”
