Working from the book of Genesis, and risking some speculation on the Hebrew calendar, he calculated that it began at 6pm on Saturday October 22, 4004 BC.

Actually, he put the date at October 23, and then pedantically realised that time must have begun the night before, because the Bible said that "the evening and the morning were the first day."

Yes, but did he account for daylight savings time?

And how 'bout when they switched from the Gregorian to the Julian calendar (or was it the other way around?) and we "lost" something like 8 days.
