Date for Noah's flood

I recently received some kid's educational materials in the mail and it had Noah's flood dated at 3500 BC. Most sources I have seen date it much later. Does anyone know the rationale for the 3500 BC date?

Well, it's certainly not based on any scientific evidence.

You take Bishop Usher's calculation of the age of the earth as 4000bc or so, add up the dates in the Genesis genealogies and viola. Tho I've heard more along the lines of 3000 or 2500 bc.

Interesting. Do you have time to elaborate on how the geneologies show this?

I'm not quite certain on exactly how they show the date since a literal worldwide Noah's Flood isn't an idea I subscribe to. I just know that they genealogies are generally how such dates are found. Um... if you have some time you might be able to just look and add up the ages when Adam begat a son, who begat another son at such and such an age, et cetera until Noah was begat and the Flood happened in his Xth year.

The would show how long after the Fall the Flood was.

Date for Noah's Flood

Young shy ark-builders'-son, 22, seeks easygoing and polite young lady. Must be handy with woodwork and good with animals. Preferably comfortable with prolonged periods of high humidity and not easily seasick. Interested applicants, ask around about the half-finished boat in the middle of the desert. Everybody knows where it is.
