1 | Where is this date from? | Gen 7:12 | BMyers | 215032 | ||
Thanks, for explaining. You may want to do some additional research, due to the flood date has been placed between 2,000 and 3,000 BC by some Biblical scholars (some even go older). I will not pretend to understand it all, but I know from the articles I read, that the estimates (fancy word for guess) on the flood date was centered around dates of the Exodus and other events that they can tie to known event dates and then they work back from those dates. I checked my ESV Study Bible, NKJV Chronological Bible, and NASB Zondervan Study Bible which all had dates of 2,000BC or older. (Remembering these are just educated guesses.) Maybe someone that has spent time studying this topic of dating could explain better than I, but it is an interesting topic (I've only read a little on Biblical dating (not talking about the boy-girl dating either)), not only dating of the flood, but many Biblical events.

Hi BMyers Just for a clarification on my part. I am stating that the flood took place in the year 1656 period. Not that it was a BC date. Time then started again as far as I am concerned after the flood. The experts with all of their educated guesses, are all coming from Exidus backwards to the flood. I on the other hand am coming from Adam forward to the flood. If you put the two time frames together it comes out to approximately 4000 - 5000 years from Adam to Jesus. Depending on the expert. As far an age of the Earth, that is a completely different matter. We all know and agree that it took 6 days for the creation, God resting on the 7th. But from that point on we have no evidence as to how long Adam, and Eve were in the garden before expulsion. So as far as I am concerned, it could be as long as the geologists say it is. We just don't know. Vintage68 |
