Bible Timeline???

[The*Empress]

The Scientists said Noah's Ark exist between from 4,000 BC to 2,000 BC.

Adam was 130 years old and had son named Seth.
Adam was 930 years old and died. Seth was 800 years old at the time.
Seth was 105 years old and had son named Enosh.
Seth was 912 years old and died. Enosh was 807 years old at the time.
Enosh was 90 years old and had son named Kenan.
Enosh was 905 years old and died. Kenan was 815 years old at the time.
Kenan was 70 years old and had son named Mahalalel.
Kenan was 910 years old and died. Mahalalel was 840 years old at the time.
Mahalalel was 65 years old and had son named Jared.
Mahalalel was 895 years old and died. Jared was 830 years old at the time.
Jared was 162 years old and had son named Enoch.
Jared was 962 years old and died. Enoch didn't live to see his father's death
Enoch was 65 years old when he had Methuselah.
Enoch was 300, he walked with God and had more kids. Methuselah was 236
Enoch was 365 years old, but didn't die, God took him away.
Methuselah was 187 years old, when Lamech was born.
Methuselah was 969 years old and died. Lamech didn't live to see dad's death
Lamech was 182 years old and had son, Noah.
Lamech was 777 years old and died and Noah was 595 years old at the time.
Noah was 500 years old when he had Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
So Noah lived til 950 years and died.

Can I count like this... 930 + 912 + 905 + 910 + 895 + 962 + 365 + 969 + 777 + 950 = 8575.

Adam was born in 8575 BC???

Can I count like this... 930 + 912 + 905 + 910 + 895 + 962 + 365 + 969 + 777 + 950 = 8575.

Nice try... But, it doesn't work in that way...

For example, your current age is 34. Your mom's current age is what? Say 55. You can't add 34 + 55 = 89 years span in timeline. You have to figure out some tricky math word problems. I'll give you some examples:

Let's start with Adam. He died at 930 years old. The 930 is a valid year timeline number.

Next is Adam's son Seth.

Seth was 800 at that time of Adam's death so subtract it from 912 when Seth died which equals to 112. That 112 is added to the year timeline of 1042. (BTW, IRS should have take that number instead of 1040! )

Next is Seth's son Enosh.

Enosh was 807 at that time of Seth's death so subtract it from 905 when Enosh died which equals to 98. That 98 is added to the year timeline of 1140.

Next is Enosh's son Kenan.

Kenan was 815 at that time of Enosh's death so subtract it from 910 when Kenan died which equals to 95. That 95 is added to the year timeline to 1235.

Then, go on with the remaining names to create long genealogy timeline.


Please note: The number of 1235 is actually not a true timeline proportional to today's date. In order to reverse 1235 to the B.C. era date, you must work all the way down on the very long genealogy timeline to the Day 1 (Jesus' birth). There at Day 1, let's say that you have worked down to the year timeline of 4000. Reverse that number in retrospect to 0 for Jesus' birth. Subtract 4000 from 1235 which gives 2765 BC as the date of Kenan's death. However, one problem...

The Bible contains many missing timelines and inaccurate calendar years so it is anyone guess whether Adam began to live around 4000 BC. It could be even further back to 10000 BC. We still don't know, but gave an approx date of 4000 BC per mathematician's statement (see below reference link).

If you were perplexed about an inaccurate calendar year in the Bible. During B.C. era, they do not follow exactly 12 months calendar year as we have now. They went by the Hebrew calendar which it completely different. They also went by other calendars, too. Mixed calendars gave mixed year readings! Today, we have an accurate calendar due to science.

Remember, Galileo who discovered Jupiter in 1620's told Catholic Church that the Earth actually rotates around the Sun. But, Galileo was put into death for defying Catholic's beliefs! Whoa! But, that was understandable because of lacking in science knowledgeable during at that time as not very many astronomers could share about their new discoveries as we have them today. Now, we have over 150 planets found beyond our Solar System! Catholic Church does not do nothing about it because they understood science today than back then. Yes, the Catholic Church apologized for putting Galileo to death not too long ago after they became more understanding in science.
