The 900 year old people in The Bible represent those who lived before the flood as seen in Genesis 6. Is this literal years or symbolic? They are literal. The bible says in Genesis 1:6-7, 6 Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." 7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so (Cf 2 Peter 3:5). The earth then was suspended between waters underneath and a layer of water over the sky. This created a perfect pressure, oxygen-rich atmosphere, where this layer also protected against harmful radiation. It was the perfect environment from life and growth and men as a result lived many hundreds of years.
Also, since death came into the world when Adam sinned, while this was immediate, its consequences took much time to take effect. It was after the flood that the above layer was removed that we see men beginning to die younger and younger.
