Think Gene90, think! When was the flood according to Creationists? If you don't know then the pyramid argument dies. You don't know do you?
I have a post in the young earth string that deals with biblical chronology that I will reiterate. I thought you were waiting on my every post, I guess I was wrong.
Anyway, the dating from Adam to Abraham is unclear biblically (hence bishop ussher's mistake). We are uncertain as to how the Ancient Jews kept their timetable. When the record states so and so, son of so, it merely indicates progeny not parentage. When the record states so and so begat so and so then direct parentage is indicated. There are gaps in the chronology that are uncertain still. So in other words the date of the flood is unclear biblically that's why creationists refer to the decaying magnetic field etc...to argue a young earth. If the flood was 10,000 B.C. (which would upset radiometric dating by the way as well as any of the four supernova's in recorded history but I was saving that for the other string we were on) or even 5,000 B.C. that is enough time to produce the civilizations on the earth. At the time of Christ the population was two hundred million and now it is over 5 billion in 2000 years. D'oh squared times infinity!
OH Yeah!
