I hope this isn't considered span. It came from Worldnet Daily, so I thought it might be okay. It looks like an interesting book for Believers.

You night get nore feedback than you expected, but it certainly isn’t span.

# 2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

WND is certainly required reading as is the Bishop’s calculation. How it is collated is up to the reader, but such common knowledge must be had by all, and Bacon said so.

No not spam.
Just idiotic blather from some nut.

(and evolution has nothing to do with it. anyone who actually believes the earth is only 6,000 years old needs a keeper and should be kept away from pointed objects and firearms.)

[Signalman]

So those dinosaurs were romping around with humans about 6000 years ago. I knew it!!!

Y’know, being a Conservative does not have to make ya stupid!

God is very clear on the fact that humans get 6000 years to attempt to rule ourselves. This is the six days of man. The Bible teaches that to God, in 2Peter 3:8, “a day is like a 1000 years.” And on the 7th day, the 7th 1000 year period, we get our rest, when Lord Jesus returns. I suspect we are very close to our 6000th year, but not quite. You would have to leave 7 years out for the tribulation, so at the very very latest, we could be in the year 5993, by God’s reckoning. It’s so hard to tell what year we are in from creation, since the calendar has changed so many times, also, since the day of creation, I suspect that the earth’s rotation has slowed quite a bit. Notice that during the tribulation, the Bible teaches that the “days will be shortened by a third”, which means that instead of a 24 hour day, we will have 16 hour days. God tells us that unless this shortening occurred, then we’d all perish. He will shorten the days so that the 7 years of the tribulation will be shortened. Perhaps the earth will accelerate on her axis after being struck by what the bible calls a “flaming rock from the Heavens” (space), which “blazes like a torch”, obviously a comet.

The book may very well be pretty close.

Very interesting.

The world was created on Mole Day? Somehow that fits, I’m not sure how, but it does

If I remember correctly, Issac Newton examined Ussher’s work and could find nothing wrong with it.

“How old is the world?”

Hundreds of Billions of years.

The article appears to be nothing more than an ad, complete with a link to WND shopping site.

“Of course, there will be those who disagree with Ussher’s calculations of time”

like anyone with a brain in their head.

[Hostage]

Adam was immortal before the Fall. No one knows how long his immortality lasted because there is no concept of time in a state of forever.

In fact the notion of ‘time’ itself is suspect according to our highest level cosmologists, e.g. Hawkings and colleagues at Cambridge.

Just hope the Earth doesn’t stay out too late to celebrate - I’d hate to see when Earth gets grumpy the next day.

Was that... Daylight Savings Time?

[Uri’el-2012]

world was created Oct. 23, 4004 B.C

Only if that day was Rosh Hashanah.

World Net Daily is nothing but crackheads with a keyboard and Internet access.

[scrabblehack]

I’ve got an old family Bible from the 1800’s, written in English. It does have dates in the margin, with Genesis starting in 4004 B.C. There is no day however. It has Chapter 2 of Matthew being 4 B.C. — again no day. The Crucifixion is set in A.D. 33.

I don’t see that it is an Ussher Bible though.
