question
Dear ICANT,
Could you tell me the number of years that the bible add up to in its generations from adam to now? Is it four million years? I have forgotten. But i seem to remember there was an agreed time frame.
I am not asking to create a fire-storm of debate concerning the billions of years of the earths age, but yet a different agenda.
Do you know, good sir?

Re: question
Not the timeline i'm looking for. I'll have to do some internet surfing. I remember a date of all the age of the dawn of "time" of the bible translated into roughly 4 million years. This would be in accordance to geographical data of mankind in the fossil records if true.
That would be significant to me as far as the bible being a record of God and his relation with man, and not the bibles creation story an actual timeline or in depth explanation of how God created. Instead that creation as a story in its most basic form to be the start of revelations of the knowledge of God. For i believe, that there is a purpose for even man, and that the purpose of man starts in the earth we were created from, for the glory of God to feed or supply or support a greater objective than to build a large house and have kids. The path to discovery may be long and perhapts even futile. But i am resolved to live out my purpose for God and his glory.
The truth is out there. I propose to find it. I start college in August. i'll have to send you my new e-mail =)
Edited in:
That would place God's action of makeing man in his image in the neolithic period. If the timeline is trustworthy. But wether it is or is not, creation depicted in the proper order in such an age is significant.
