So Psalm 90 does NOT serve as a proof. One has to go elsewhere?

This same time line says the Babylonian Captivity was "422 BCE".
14 x your figure for a "generation" 67.21 == 940.94, as you said.
941-422 = 519.

So EITHER "the Anointed" appeared in the first quarter of the 6th century of the Common Era
OR one of the figures is wrong.

Try this: 422/14 = 30.14 which is less than half of three score and ten, but that puts us at 1 AD.

There's a problem.

As I indicated in my first post on the subject Psalm 90 is a starting point.

Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

OH, you haven’t even begun. It says there are 14 generations from David to the carrying away of Babylon but if you list all the individual names here’s what you get.

Solomon
Rehoboam
Abijam
Asa
Jehoshaphat
Jehoram
Ahaziah *
Joash *
Amaziah *
Uzziah
Jotham
Ahaz
Hezekiah
Manasses
Amon
Josiah
Jehoiakim *
Jechonias
Assir *
The names with the asterisk are listed in the Old Testament but left out of Matthew. Find a scholar that can explain that if you can.

Does the Bible contradict itself? Of course the answer is no but I will let you study to find for yourself the answers with the help of the Holy Spirit.

There are other passages to establish the length of a generation but I will allow you to do your own study and come to your own conclusions.

I think you will find that Jesus is the 66th generation since Adam btw. 66x70=4620years. Then add the 2011 years since and you get 6631 years or the appox. years since the creation.
