Dear Yohanan,

Except that parents being creators is totally foreign to biblical thought. Only God creates (the Heb. root BR) ), as someone has already pointed out.

Ps 100:3 de`u ki yhwh hu' 'elohim hu' `asanu velo 'anaxnu `amo veco'n mar`ito

Besides which Qohelet 12:1 ff. is about how good health is likely to deteriorate in old age.

Shalom,
Bryan

*I think that Sefer Qoheleth 12:1 best reads, "And remember your creators",
speaking of one's parents, and draws attention back to the Torah, and the
notion of honoring one's mother and father, so that their days go well, and
they have a long life.*
