REL: Bible Meets Criteria of History Book

[Chuck58]

I believe so but, again, that's taking literally the "day is as a thousand years" comment.

[LogansPapa]

But he didn't know what we know now - i.e. that the generations listed in the Bible contain gaps. The relationships between subsequent names are not necessarily fathers and sons.

Again - I didn't know that. So the world is much older?

[MrsSmith]

Yes, I’ll admit - I was wrong. Hadn’t heard that story before. Thank you.

Now let’s get back to my questions. What was the time-span between the Great Flood and the building of the pyramids. Man went from the Garden of Eden, to the first great judgement, the flood and then built the pyramids in how many years?

No one is completely certain, of course. The years aren't tallied in the Bible as we keep history today. No one knows how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden, or what was going on everywhere else all that time, either...except that nothing died.
