Neanderthals were gone some 15-20,000 years earler, IIRC. It was white European Cro-Magnons!

Your ignorant post is a sign of how evil our school system has been for a century.
Bishop Ussher’s excellent work has in large part been affirmed scripturally and scientifically.
The hour of creation was plainly stated in Genesis; Ussher merely had to read and understand.

If the hour of creation was plainly stated in Genesis, please be so kind as to tell us which chapter and verse, so we can see it ourselves. I never saw it when I read the Bible. Also, what are some of the scientific sources—books, authors, scientific papers, etc.

The hour had to be sundown, since every Biblical day begins at sundown.

So you would confine the creator by the laws He created? A supernatural event this was, yet it is limited by a constraint of waiting for the light to travel? If you can find a scientist that can create stars by commanding them to exist, then perhaps we can figure out God’s limits by asking the scientist. Otherwise, Genesis 1 indicates days, not years. To make any other claim is to accept man’s feeble knowledge before God’s truth and eyewitness account.
A guy at church once asked me if God couldn’t create the light already on its way to earth.
Of course he could. But why would he? To fool people into thinking the universe is older than it is?
“Of course he could. But why would he? To fool people into thinking the universe is older than it is?”
Certainly not. He created them to serve as signs, to show seasons, and to cast light on the earth. Most often the Bible indicates He created them for His glory - to show His handy work. And how impressive is it? Given the size of the universe, we can’t even comprehend its massiveness due to our small size.... and yet He had the power to do that? A humbling thought.
Given the reasons in the Bible, how effective would stars have been if people couldn’t see them? Would an artist hide away his painting until after his audience left?
