Hi, Redstang!
​
Welcome back! I hope you had a great holiday!
​
I'm sorry I took so long to reply, but I finally posted an answer to you at the Is the Bible the Word of God thread. If you're still interested take a look.

Hi Mark,
​
Thanks for the link, it was right to the point. I wonder if you'd mind editing your post to add a sentence or two summarizing the link, it keeps the guidelines happy.
​
Thanks!

You sure are! If this isn't fun there's no point in being here. Maybe I should add having fun to the guidelines.

I'm going from memory, but these numbers seem somewhat amiss. Isn't the length of the year 365.2499? Aren't there additional corrections beyond those mentioned, perhaps if the year is divisible for 4000 (again, I'm just going from memory)? And won't it take longer than 3/4 of a billion years for the earth's rotation to equal its lunar month (I didn't do the math, but it seems inconsistent with other data)?
