You and David might have been talking about the breath of life, but we were talking about the global, all encompassing nature of the Flood, and its destroying ALL life on the planet, except what was in the Ark.We are talking about the "Breath of Life". What are you talking about?
Just to save misunderstanding, my only mention of "the breath of life" was in quoting Genesis 7:21-23, where the phrase occurs in describing how all human and animal life outside the ark died in the worldwide flood.You and David might have been talking about the breath of life, but we were talking about the global, all encompassing nature of the Flood, and its destroying ALL life on the planet, except what was in the Ark.
Oh you are talking about Pangea. Yes, I did and extensive study on the Rocky mountains and all the dinosaur remains that they find in flood deposits. Actually 50 years ago contiental drift was just a theory. Now they have done extensive research and plate technotics is considered to be science.You and David might have been talking about the breath of life, but we were talking about the global, all encompassing nature of the Flood, and its destroying ALL life on the planet, except what was in the Ark.
All that had the breath of life that we read about in Genesis 2 7.Just to save misunderstanding, my only mention of "the breath of life" was in quoting Genesis 7:21-23, where the phrase occurs in describing how all human and animal life outside the ark died in the worldwide flood.
But it must mean more than those just created in Genesis 2. The Genesis 7 verses include the phrase "all living things that were on the face of the ground," not just all living things that were mentioned back in Genesis 2.All that had the breath of life that we read about in Genesis 2 7.
Genesis 2:7
Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
Genesis 7:22 Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
Adam lived 6,000 years ago. The beginning of mankind, or the emergence of modern humans (Homo sapiens), is generally believed to have occurred in Africa around 300,000 years ago. Early humans initially lived as hunter-gatherers and began migrating out of Africa during the Last Ice Age, eventually populating most of the Earth by about 12,000 years ago. The transition from hunter-gatherer societies to food producers, known as the Neolithic Revolution,But it must mean more than those just created in Genesis 2. The Genesis 7 verses include the phrase "all living things that were on the face of the ground," not just all living things that were mentioned back in Genesis 2.
Yes, I for one don't see God in the bible saying that He created Adam and Eve out of some pre-existing "Homo Sapiens."Adam lived 6,000 years ago.

Eden was a biodiverse ecosystem. You can read about that in your Biology book that is required reading for High School Graduates. There is NO conflict between Biology and the Bible. They harmonize just fine and people need to quit trying to say they conflict in some way when they don't.
Of course, not everyone is a Theistic Evolutionist. So I suppose they have their own beliefs about this.
We read about the "pre-existing 'Homo Sapiens" in Genesis 1 on the sixth day. The English Bible is NOT a translation of the Hebrew. The English Bible comes from the Greek translation of the Hebrew. They made a mistake when they said "Adams Rib" What this means is the side of Adam. God took a single cell organism and made male and female. He divided them so He could join them back together again in Him.Yes, I for one don't see God in the bible saying that He created Adam and Eve out of some pre-existing "Homo Sapiens."
I am not following your here.Oh you are talking about Pangea. Yes, I did and extensive study on the Rocky mountains and all the dinosaur remains that they find in flood deposits. Actually 50 years ago contiental drift was just a theory. Now they have done extensive research and plate technotics is considered to be science.
People have a problem making a connection making a connection between Noah's flood and what took place at Pangea. Jesus talks about two events at the same time when He is talking about the temple being tore down and what will happen at the end of our current Church age.
Do we? Where? We are told that God made Adam from "the dust of the ground", not from "pre-existing 'Homo Sapiens":We read about the "pre-existing 'Homo Sapiens" in Genesis 1 on the sixth day.
It depends which version you read. The Authorised (King James) version, and the New King James Version, for example, and probably others, translated the Old Testament from Hebrew, not the Greek Septuagint. Anyway, neither "Adam's rib" nor "Adam's side" implies pre-existing Homo Sapiens.The English Bible is NOT a translation of the Hebrew. The English Bible comes from the Greek translation of the Hebrew. They made a mistake when they said "Adams Rib" What this means is the side of Adam. God took a single cell organism and made male and female. He divided them so He could join them back together again in Him.
Adams Rib: The Hebrew word often translated as "rib" is "צלע" (tsela), which can also mean "side." Some scholars argue that the traditional interpretation of "rib" may not fully capture the original meaning. Interpreting "tsela" as "side" can suggest a more profound connection between man and woman.
WHY did God make male and female, man and women? We are told that marriage is type of Christ and His church.
- Genesis 1:27 (NIV): "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
- Genesis 2:24 (NIV): "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."
Genesis 1:27 says mankind. Genesis 2:24 says man that we all know as Adam in the Garden of Eden. Take a look at verse 2:4. "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens".
The key here is "generations". Usually, the word we use for that is genealogy. You can have your DNA tested to see how accurate it can be.
The genetic history of the Middle East is the subject of research within the fields of human population genomics, archaeogenetics and Middle Eastern studies. Researchers use Y-DNA, mtDNA, and other autosomal DNA tests to identify the genetic history of ancient and modern populations of Egypt, Persia, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Arabia, the Levant, and other areas.
We have History, Science and the Bible. They all agree, there is no conflict anywhere. IN FACT History, Science and Archeology shows us how accurate and True our Bible is.
The biblical account of creation in Genesis does indeed say that God made Adam from "the dust of the ground" (Genesis 2:7). This phrase emphasizes the humble origin of humans and their connection to the earth.Do we? Where? We are told that God made Adam from "the dust of the ground", not from "pre-existing 'Homo Sapiens":
You have never studied History? You have never studied science? I took Ancient History and Biology in High School and I have keep up with the new research and discovers for the last 50 years.Anyway, neither "Adam's rib" nor "Adam's side" implies pre-existing Homo Sapiens.
There have been six extinctions in the life of this planet.You and David might have been talking about the breath of life, but we were talking about the global, all encompassing nature of the Flood, and its destroying ALL life on the planet, except what was in the Ark.
The whole universe (including the Earth) has only been around for 5923 years, and we are told of the ONLY mass extinction event which occurred in the year 1658 after Creation (4265 years ago). All of the evidence for mass extinctions you list above is evidence of the Flood, which God caused, and was not caused by any asteroid, volcanic eruption, or "climate change" (which is a false proposition all together). God has promised that there will not be any change to the world wide seasons (there will ALWAYS be planting and harvesting, summer and winter, day and night) until the whole universe is consumed in fire and destroyed completely (Gen 8:22, 2 Pet 3:10, Rev 20:11, 21:1).There have been six extinctions in the life of this planet.
The "Big Five" Mass Extinctions:
- Ordovician-Silurian Extinction (~444 million years ago):
- Cause: Likely linked to climate change and sea level changes.
- Impact: Around 85% of marine species went extinct.
- Late Devonian Extinction (~375-359 million years ago):
- Cause: Uncertain, but possibly linked to climate change, asteroid impacts, or volcanic activity.
- Impact: Around 75% of species, particularly marine life, were affected.
- Permian-Triassic Extinction (~252 million years ago):
- Cause: Possibly massive volcanic eruptions, climate change, and ocean anoxia.
- Impact: About 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates went extinct, earning it the nickname "The Great Dying."
- Triassic-Jurassic Extinction (~201 million years ago):
- Cause: Likely volcanic activity and climate change.
- Impact: Around 80% of species, paving the way for the rise of dinosaurs.
- Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction (~66 million years ago):
- Cause: Asteroid impact, volcanic activity, and climate change.
- Impact: About 75% of species, including all non-avian dinosaurs, went extinct.
The Sixth Extinction:
- Current Epoch: Many scientists argue that we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction, driven by human activities.
- Causes: Habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and invasive species.
- Impact: Accelerated loss of biodiversity, with significant declines in populations of many species.
Yes, I have a copy of Bishop Ussher book. It is more like an encyclopedia.The whole universe (including the Earth) has only been around for 5923 years, and we are told of the ONLY mass extinction event which occurred in the year 1658 after Creation (4265 years ago)
I don't know any of those people. I did the research, counted the years, etc. for myself. Adam was not born, but was created in 3899BC. I think Ussher must have put the Pharaoh of the Exodus as a different Pharaoh than I (and most scholars) believe him to be.Yes, I have a copy of Bishop Ussher book. It is more like an encyclopedia.
The epistle to James Ussher's book, "Annals of the Old Testament, deduced from the first origins of the world", was written by John Lightfoot. Lightfoot was a contemporary of Ussher and also a prominent biblical scholar. His work, "The Harmony of the Gospels", was published in 1642-1644 and provided a similar chronology to Ussher's, though with some differences in dates.
We are told: "Who can number the sands of the sea, and the drops of rain and the days of eternity".
I go by Bishop Ussher that Adam was born in 4004 BC. From there we can see the Church age began in 29 AD. The math is fairly easy to do. Ussher himself did not know if time had a beginning or always was. WE know more today.
There were many, many, many beginning with Adam and Eve 6,000 years ago. There is a lot to study and learn about Science and History in addition to what we read in our Bible. We know a lot more than Bishop Ussher, yet his book still sets a standard for us today.
Yes, I did the math myself. It is pretty easy from Adam to Abraham. More difficult after that. We can see that Noah's father and Adam were alive at the same time for a short amount of time.I don't know any of those people. I did the research, counted the years, etc. for myself.
James Ussher's chronology places the Exodus around April 1491 BC. He does not name a Pharaoh. AI says the Pharaoh at that time was Thutmose II. It could also be Amenhotep depending on the timeline you use.I think Ussher must have put the Pharaoh of the Exodus
Adam was 930 years old when he died. The Rabbi say he gave 70 years to David. In the Bible, we are told that Adam lived to be 930 years old (Genesis 5:5). King David, on the other hand, lived for 70 years (2 Samuel 5:4-5).Adam was created on the 6th day, and was 950 years old when he died,
I put the exodus at 1446BC (2454 after Creation). Which is 430 years after Abraham left Ur in 1876BC (2024 after Creation) when he was 75 (Exo 12:40, Gal 3:17). Moses was then born 80 before 1446BC, which would put his birth in 1526BC. So, while we don't know the age that Levi had Kohath, or that Kohath had Amram or that Amram had Aaron or Moses, we do know that what year Moses was born, and can approximate the ages of Kohath and Amram, seeing as how Levi lived 137 years total, Kohath lived 133 years total and Amram lived 137 years total (Exo :16-20).Yes, I did the math myself. It is pretty easy from Adam to Abraham. More difficult after that. We can see that Noah's father and Adam were alive at the same time for a short amount of time.

Thank you for the correction. I didn't double check my memory before I hit post.Adam was 930 years old when he died.
2454 after Creation
