2 | Earliest recorded date any where. | Gen 1:1 | EdB | 61930 | ||
Justme I would say Genesis 1:1. In the beginning. Can't get much earlier than that. If you mean oldest piece of written communications I think it is the text of Hammurabi written in cuneiform by the Sumerians. It is thought to be 5000 years old. However as I first said the Bible documents events that occurred earlier. EdB |

4 | Earliest recorded date any where. | Gen 1:1 | EdB | 61985 | ||
Justme I guess the answer again lies in the first chapter of Genesis. Gen 1:5 says God made light and darkness and called the light day and the darkness night that was the first day. I believe the first secular proof of man keeping time goes back to the Sumerians. They are known to have tracked the stars and seasons and they also accounted for time. Time was surely accounted for before that, but since we haven't found any form of evidence to prove that, we have to go with what we have. Their civilization was before the time of Abraham and about 5000 years old. EdB |

EdB: So would that be a young earth theory? I am not refering to eveloution. No one could despise eveloution as coming right out out of satans mind than me. (I refuse to capitalize the evil ones name giving any crediance to power) In fact when I go by a grave yard, thinking about those who were lost I say "satan be damned!" Have you ever wondered why God is cursed, rather than satan? I have never heared "satan damn" in my entire life! What hartache and pain and evil has brought through the evil one. Never the less I will say "it is well with my soul" as long as I have breath. Thanks to Jesus our Lord. justme |

6 | Earliest recorded date any where. | Gen 1:1 | EdB | 62016 | ||
Justme All credible proof shows the earth to be approximately 6,000 years old. Remember when they were building the lunar lander. They calculated the dust on the moon to be 6 feet deep using the theory the moon was millions of years old. Therefore they engineered those super large landing pads at the end of the landers legs. However when they got to the moon they found the dust to be no more than six inches deep. Using their formula and calculating how long it would take to get 6 inches of dust the answer was about 6,000 years. No one talks about this but I’m old enough to remember them trying to figure how they were going to deal with 6 feet of dust. Yes I believe in an earth about 6,000 years old. Is that young? Maybe to some but I think it is a long time. EdB |
