6000 Years Bible
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Where in the bible does it say that the Universe is 6000 years old?
The book of Genesis lists the generations from Adam to Abraham, along with the ages of each person. People have an idea of when the Exodus took place, so they just add up the time from Adam to Abraham, add 430 years (from Abraham to the Exodus) to get 4000 BC (or so) for the date of creation. Hence the 6000 year thing.
Of course, I have to mention that the opening chapters of the book of Genesis were not written within the historical genre. The original readers would have understood it in a completely different way – not as a historical account.
