"First level, that the Earth was created in 4004 B.C. That is, based on the 17th Century math of an Anglican Archbishop in Ireland. Even if you like the idea, check the math."

The Bible does not say that.

If one wants to count the generations of Man (as counted in the Bible) from the time of Adam to the current day, one might come up with a figure resembling that (4004 BC) number.

I do not expect people to get the distinction, but there certainly is one between the 4004 BC date, and what ever else may have happened before that Biblical Day.

IF the life spans varied or were radically altered then a "generation" basis is a bad measurement to make a long term extrapolation on. A more accurate measure - for example is mydocondrial DNA. It is very definitive as to generations and heritage. There are not enough human generations to support a Bible time frame and explain the diverse nature of the current population without some mutation of humans. Do you have a small toe nail(s)? Some people don't that is evolution. Not necessarily of the "origin" type but evolution all the same. I AM NOT taking sides just saying that some things don't add up - on both theories.
