Hey AFDave, a 'sciency' question for you:
Please tell us how you arrived at the dates you have been giving us for historical events, i.e.
Earth created 6000 years ago
Humans created 5500 years ago
'The Flood' 4500 years age
Tower of Babel 4200 years ago, etc.
Don't just say 'from the Bible', that's a cowardly cop-out. I would like to see your evidence and calculations as to how you arrived at those exact dates, and what their accuracy is. Is the age of the Earth 6000 +/- 100 years? +/- 1000 years? +/- 4.5 billion years?
Same for the Flood dating. How did you get that number, and how accurate is your figure?
Are you using Bishop Ussher's number of Oct. 23, 4004 B.C as the date of creation?
What assumptions did you make in obtaining these results?
Please show all your work and calculations. Thanks
ETA: I did find the Ussher timeline on AIG

But that's not evidence of anything except someone's fanciful interpretation of non-verified Biblical ages. That doesn't cut the muster in anyone's scientific results. What I want to see is corroborating non-biblical scientific evidence that give the dates you claim. If I had never heard of the Bible but had unlimited time, money, and scientific resources to determine those ages, how would I do it?
