I taught a YEC class to our homeschool group. The students actually added up (roughly) the geneaologies in the Bible, along with some time periods (Israels slavery in Egypt). We came up with 6009 years. Pretty close for 3-5 graders.
Thanks for the site.

You're most welcome.
Unfortunately, chr*stians don't know how to properly interpret the Torah so they make numerous mistakes in genealogy and history. For example, the Israelites were in Egypt only for 210 years, not four hundred or four hundred and thirty. These latter numbers are the years from the birth of Isaac and from the "covenant between the parts," respectively. Also the secular dating of the Babylonian Exile used by almost all chr*stians contradicts the traditional chronology.
All who acknowledge the Biblical G-d should acquaint themselves with traditional Jewish chronology so as to understand when everything really happened. (Did you know that Noah was still alive when Abraham was born and didn't die until Abraham was fifty-eight years old?)
