OK, now explain how something which is clearly physically impossible did happen.

You mean biologically impossible?

Would it really be so outlandish to think that human biology was different at the time?

It would be outlandish to think THAT much different. A few thousand years is not a lot of time in evolutionary standards for such a drastic change to come,

Sure. But I think the standard view of the literalists is that God (reacting to the wickedness of man) chose to shorten life spans. If so, then the objection based on biological impossibility doesn't work.
