Christian concept of 6,000 year human history

Submitted by craig on

I previously commented:

While I don’t think the earth is 6,000 years old, I do think the Bible says human beings originated with a single human couple (Adam and Eve) about 6,000 years ago.

However, after learning more about Biblical genealogies (refer to William Henry Green), and also considering scientific evidence of the age of human history, I am persuaded that a 6,000 year date of human history should not be inferred from the Biblical genealogies, Ussher-style.
