A 6000 year document can give a formular or premise which can be used to measure time - back or front.
Again, that's not the question. I'm asking: How can you know it's accurate to 100,000 years when the longest it's been tested for is 6000 years? What you're saying is equivalent to saying that a gun that's sighted at 6000 yards is accurate to 100,000 yards.
The genesis calendar is thus very accurate, incorporating the fluctuating movements and inclinations of the bodies which effect time on the earth and the seasonal change patterns and sea levels pursuent to full moon events - noted in Genesis.
Again, you haven't shown where any of those fluctuations or inclinations are mentioned in Genesis.
I can get you the calendar in Genesis, which is common knowledge...
The calendar is common knowledge. The details in Genesis are not.
Show them.
but not the billion second demand: seconds were not discovered yet, remember?

The Genesis calendar, which is the oldest and most accurate in existence [able to predict a sunset a 100,000 years in advance, and accurate to a billionth of a sec]
The discussion isn't about the accuracy of
our calendar and it isn't about any connection between our calendar and that of the ancient Hebrews. The discussion is about the knowledge
they had.
The "billionth of a second" can not have any relevance to Genesis if they didn't even have seconds.
