So I found an article about the show... ” Ussher examined the Bible’s historical record for an event to synchronize with our familiar calendar systems and then, by adding the interlocked ages and events in the Old Testament counted back to arrive at acreation date of 4004 BC." Hate to say it, but I was right. This theory is nothing new and it's flawed. The problem is, events in the bible that synchronize with our calendar only go back so far. There is an indefinite amount of time before our calendar and written history even begin. At the absolute most , you could try to calculate when Adam and Eve were created, but even that would be a stretch. Now, on a personal level. Waiting till now to look at your example wasn't me being rude, but I've heard that argument and others like it for decades. Sometimes people know better than you. And your comments about killing myself and my offspring were very distasteful. I was a teenager once upon a time, I know how it is, although it wasn't in the internet era. The anonymity grated to you by the internet is not an excuse to be a poor human being, because it can and will carry over into your real life. Before I leave, I will say this: we are all sinners and we deserve justice from God. But God, who expects perfection , knows we can't be perfect. So in his love, he came to earth, (Jesus Christ) and lived the perfect life we couldn't and then took on the punishment we deserved as sinners. So that mercy and justice could both be satisfied. If we believe that he did this and repent, then his righteousness will be granted to us, so we can spend eternity with God. Good day.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussher_chronology Read up. Ironically, the parts that took place before history were the easiest because of the unbroken record of the lineage from Adam to Solomon. It was my mistake to point you in the direction of a brief summary. Hopefully this will explain a little better. Besides, OP was the one who initially made the assumption that the bible only allows for Earth to be a few thousand years old. Why is it that I don't see you arguing with him, if you're so adamant about it? Regardless of your answers, the end result is the same: OP must prove that the bible is an accurate source, as he uses it as evidence.

  • Between Adam and Solomon was not before history, before Adam, that's the problem.

  • The bible keeps perfect record of how long the earth existed before Adam. It was just a few days.

  • You are very mislead. The word day has many different meanings, it's actually used in at least four different ways in Genesis. Plus there's an unspecified amount of time between Genesis verse 1 and 2. You can't win this argument, you lack a basic understanding of the bible.
