Subject: Where is this date from? |
Bible Note: 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 |
