He just answered -- simplicity.

Trumps accuracy any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
My bro, the Apostle Paul, seems to agree with that :preach:

Search for 'Genesis 1:1' in the version

NKJV) 2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this:
the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.
2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

BEAUTIFUL verses. I LOVE Paul.

Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at that particular date? Thanks

...
That's from Ussher's dating.

In other words, I use Ussher's dating method, since it's probably just as accurate as anyone else's.

If there's only a +/- 100 year discrepancy, then it's not really going to matter that much.

... Oh yes, and if you fail to believe this dodgy dossier amending His creation,
which unfortunately also reads like a children's story, and prefer to rely on the evidence of your senses instead, you will be sent to hell.

That's not how He said it:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--
his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse

Please define "Maturity".

Maturity means being suitable for the intended purpose. Adam was created with a sense of balance and the ability to harvest his own food from the garden.
Eve is imagined about the same maturity as Adam. The garden is written as fully mature for it's intended purpose. There is nothing in the
scriptures that even imply that the earth or anything is "young" after creation. No one should expect it to be so. But the confusion is understandable.
Modern Science is very, very, recent and some have over emphasized it's value in understanding God's creation. You know how pendulums tend to swing.

1 Corinthians 3:2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.

1 Corinthians 14:20 Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

Ephesians 4:15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.

1 Peter 2:2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

First of all, I was asking AV because I want to get AV's view pon what maturity means.

Secondly, maturity does not mean fit for an intended purpose. If a car is totaled, does it become immature?

Thirdly, your pendulum diagram is of no relevance. neither are the Bible quotes.

Testing me, were you?
Since it's Christmas, and I'm in a good mood, I'll kowtow to your badgering and false accusation.

Yet again:

Age, as it applies to embedded age = maturity.

Maturity = possessing all the qualities to perform the duties expected of someone that age.

Embedded age itself = maturity without history.
Circular logic. Got it.

Maturity = having what it takes to get the job done.

So Tiberius' second question (which you avoided) still stands -- if a car is totaled, is it no longer "mature"?

There were no 'totaled cars' in Genesis 1.

God pronounced His creation, 'very good.'

Quite right AV. :clap:

When magma or lava cools the clock is set. As unstable radionuclides decay the ratio between unstable and stable nuclides changes indicating the absolute amount of maturity.

Similar chronologies are seen as well in ice core and varve layers which are distinguished by the seasonal ratio differences in stable isotopes and even pollen ratios. Even trees and corals exhibit similar bands.

Chronologies are also embedded in marine sediment cores.

As you say, what it takes to get the job done. :thumbsup:

I didn't ask about Genesis 1 or even about God -- this is about you and your definition of "mature."

I suspect that your evasion answers the question sufficiently.

And all this has exactly what do do with embedded age?
