  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Creationists: how close is the Jewish Calandar to the age of the Earth?

But before God began creating, the earth was formless and void, it was there.
Now you’re saying that God either began creating before the first day or that God didn’t create the earth at all.

I apologize if a topic already exists on this subject somewhere I did a search for the subject and couldn't find a topic with the title that was recently created. My question is simple. According to Jewish history Adam and Eve and thus the universe were created 5,784 years ago. Modern Creation science dates the Earth somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 years old, just how close is the Jewish Calandar to actual biblical truth?
By my personal calculation based on the genealogies given in Gen 5 and Gen 11, and assuming that the general consensus that the Exodus occurred in 1446 BC, the current year from Creation is 5927. If you would like the Excel spreadsheet in which I have laid out my research, I would be happy to share it via email (as it is too large to post here and does not condense into a PDF well at all).
