'Greatest history book ever': Earth 6,009 years old

I am curious why this is posted in the politics forum.

edgarblythe, well the debate is so absurd that I blame it on politics.

Where would you propose this thread should be put-- the science forum?

How about religion and spirituality?

Is there a fantasy category?

Integrating biblical history (around 15 percent of the text is from the Bible) with secular sources, Ussher wrote this masterpiece. Considered not only a literary classic, but also an accurate reference, "The Annals of the World" was so highly regarded for its preciseness that the timeline from it was included in the margins of many King James Version Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

"The Annals of the World" is a necessary addition to any church library, pastor's library, or any library - public or personal. The entire text has been updated from 17th-century English to present-day vernacular in a five-year project commissioned by Master Books. Containing many human-interest stories from the original historical documents collected by Ussher, this is more than just a history book - it's a work of history.

Looks like religion to me, but I am willing to follow with a political point of view, if you wish.

They had master's degrees in the 1650's?

I think that refers to the guy that updated the book.

I thought it might have meant that too, but then I saw that a few words later it said the following:



I don't think they've buried anyone there recently, have they?

I think it means two seperate persons- -just sloppy writing.
