There were academics and theologians who spent hours calculating what they thought was the precise age of the Earth, on the basis of the Biblical account of it. And as early as 1650, James Ussher had come to the startlingly precise conclusion that the Earth was created in 4004 B. C. on October the 22nd – in the evening, apparently. What God had been doing that morning is still open to conjecture.
Jonathan Miller
Quote of the day
