I think many people have used carbon dating as proof that the timeline of the Bible is wrong - I have heard it many times throughout my academic life and since. I probably should have framed it more as “the Bible” and less as “God”, but those who seek to disprove the Bible as a fairy tale seek to disprove God.

It’s always an interesting debate, but I try not to get too wrapped up in it.

Well, I guess if you take the Bible absolutely literally on every point, you can see its ‘timeline’ as having to correspond to our Earthly one.

I don’t personally read it that way, and find it far more glorious and meaningful - and far more impressive upon the individual soul - when apprehended and psychologically assimilated as symbol and metaphor.
