===Humans can Sleep for Three Hundred Years===
The oldest verified human life has been a little over 120 years. Humans cannot live without food and water for more than a few days. However, the Qur'an incorporated a myth from the 5<sup>th</sup> century legends of the [[Seven Sleepers of Ephesus in the Quran|Seven Sleepers of Ephesus]] who sleep in a cave for over 300 years and then miraculously awaken in perfect health. There is no historical evidence that this ever happened or could even been scientifically possible.
{{Quote|{{Quran|18|11}}|
Then We sealed up their hearing in the Cave for a number of years. }}
