Yeah, it’s much smarter to assume that all dating methods and aging processes change randomly over time, or that they all magically skew in the same direction by the same amount.
THAT WAY YOU DON’T HAVE TO QUESTION ONE MAN’S COUNTING OF YEARS IN ONE BOOK.
Much simpler.
Note, I did not say "randomly."
THAT WAY YOU DONT HAVE TO QUESTION ONE MANS COUNTING OF YEARS IN ONE BOOK.
I am not accepting without question any man's counting of years: either a) an age of the earth as 6,000 years, which failed, e.g., to take into account the "telescoping" of genealogies; or b) an age of the earth as bazillions of years, which is based on the presupposition that nothing could have intervened (a worldwide catastrophe, for instance) to affect the results of a dating method that may work up to a certain point. I have said that no one knows, or can know, when "the beginning" was. It is beyond the realm of science.
