Bible Question: How meny years in BC? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Buddy, Here's an anwer Phil gave: "How old is the earth scripturally? Answer Gen 1:1 Phillip Sun 04/29/01, 11:43pm The Bible gives specific years of lifespans and timeframes of events (such as the time of slavery in Egypt) to determine the time from Adam to Solomon. There is enough agreement as to the date of the reign of Solomon that it can be added to the previous years to give us a total age of the Earth. This is approximately 6177 years according to my study. There is no exact date known because of several difficulties but the Bible is far from silent on the issue. An excellent book on the subject written by Harold Camping has a unique insight into how to date the Earth and offers an even older age of the Earth of over 13,000 years. The book is called "Adam When" and can be ordered from www.familyradio.com without charge. The book does not contradict my calculations, it simply offers insight that I did not have. I would highly recommend that you order it to see if his understanding is correct in your eyes. If anyone would like a copy of my detailed charts from Adam to Solomon so they may see for themselves, simply e-mail me at peacock@grapevine.net and I will mail them to you. In the Creator's Name, Phil" So, if the earth is 6,177 years old, then there are about 4,176 years in BC. If the earth is over 13,000 years old, then there are over 10,999 years in BC. |
