1). The Genesis Record, Henry M. Morris, p.244: If there are no gaps in the genealogies of Genesis 11, this means that Noah continued living until Abraham was about 58 years old. On the other hand, ...there is a least a possibility that some gaps of uncertain duration may exist in these genealogies. It is at least likely, however, that noah lived until after the dispersion of the nations at Babel.
