Ben:>>Scripture says:
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
God lives in a world of Light/Energy. 1Ti 6:16 To change such energy into matter should be a simple exercise for the Supreme Intelligence of Creation. Amen? Jesus did the same when He changed air, dust and water BACK into energy when He fashioned the present Universe. Amen?
That doesn't answer the question either.
According to the documents referenced on this page, the 6000-year-old-Earth pitch brings him $176K per year.Maybe he does it because he knows there is demand from some people to have someone tell them the earth is 6000 years old and he can make a living telling them that?

Bishop usher had no knowledge of anything older than 6,000 years ago. So he simply starts his book at that point in time and has nothing to say about anything before that point in time.Maybe he does it because he knows there is demand from some people to have someone tell them the earth is 6000 years old and he can make a living telling them that?
We all enter this world with no knowledge. Everything we know is learned. Today I spent time talking to a young man getting ready to enter high school. We were explaining how much competition there is and how you have to work hard and take advanced classes to qualify for scholarships and the best universities. We told him to have fun and don't take it too serious. But take it serious enough so that you can get ahead. My son knows one girl that pretty much is going to graduate high school with enough college credit that she will be qualified to take master degree courses. No one has to push them. They decide on their own how ambitious to be and what they want to accomplish. I told his mom she can pretty much invest it all in his education because when they graduate they can make enough in a year to pay it all back.Yes, 400 years ago, I am quite certain his knowledge of the world was limited.

What we read in a book written over 3,000 years ago is confirmed to be true by modern science today. We do come from the ground or the elements of the earth. We are a product of our environment or eco system. The DNA is in the bone marrow and you can take the DNA from the rib of a man to create a women."We" do not know this. "We" just read it in a book.
The genealogists we have in the Bible are accurate. The Bishop had books other than the Bible that he used. Books that are no longer available to us now because all the information is contained in Bishop Ushers excellent book of the history of the nation of the people of Israel.Archbishop James Ussher made the SAME mistake the ancient Hebrews made. Both falsely supposed that the lineage from Adam to Jesus was literal, when in fact, it is the record of the "living" ancestors of the man Jesus Christ but does NOT list those who were NOT born again Spiritually. This means that there are gaps between believers which Ussher and the Hebrews didn't calculate. This is evident when you understand that the Jewish Calendar shows 2015 as the year 5775. Ussher just went along with the traditional religious view which is UnTrue scripturally, scientifically and historically. Amen?
They are verified in Bishop Ushers book. You can sometimes find a copy of it on the internet.[citation needed]
I believe the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden consisted of manna that was off-limits to Adam & Eve at the time; and was there for the angels to eat.[VERSE=Psalms 78:23-25,KJV][VERSENUM]23[/VERSENUM] Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, [VERSENUM]24[/VERSENUM] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.Satan had to fall before he entered the garden of Eden and Isaiah 12 says that Lucifer was in charge of the earth. I have heard other people say that Universe if 10,000 years old.
