Referring to Genesis 6:3 I assume? Most believe it means that there was 120 years to go until the flood, not that the life span of humans would be only that long. After all, it is believed that prior to the geoatmospheric cataclysms of the flood it was possible for humans to live much longer than they do now. And throughout history people have lived to well over 120 years, at least a few have, and most people don't live anywhere near that long. So it would have been patently ridiculous for God to state that humans would only live 120 years.
