Bible Question: What year did God create Adam and Eve?
I purchased different study bibles which state that God created Adam and Eve in either 4,000 B.C., 4,004 B.C. or sometime between 4,000 B.C. and 10, 000 B.C.
Also, I purchased a bible world chart which states that Adam and Eve were created in 4,004 B.C.
In a book entitled, "Ancient Post-Flood History,"when tracing the descendants of Noah from modern times backwards, the Hebrew translation of Genesis states that creation was in 4,000 B.C. while the Greek version of Genesis states between 5,000 B.C. and 5,500 B.C.
Can you please elaborate?

Bible Answer: Bishop Usher put a Creation date of 4004 BC, he had it down to the hour if not the minute. This was the date for over 200 years and the one I grew up memorizing. Smarter minds than mine found his numbers lacking and some rounded the date to 4000 BC or BCE. ... I am a grandfather, more than once I have called my grandson, my son. His father is no longer living and it is a term of endearment. There are places you can study in the genealogies where they skip several generations, possibly only mentioning important or famous members of the line. Can you imagine if every name for 4000 years were mentioned in scripture? It would take many pages of the Bible just to list them. ... Since we were not there, and since the Bible does not say, some put a date of no earlier than 10,000 BC. Our job today is to be like Jesus Christ. This creation date is one of the questions we will have to ask God in eternity.
