Being off by 1000 years isn't really very good accuracy.


From here
Sorry, my mistake. Was thinking B.C.E, instead of just C.E, so 16th Century AD.

This is getting more and more surreal with each post you make.

If 3761 BCE is 1 on the Hebrew calendar, meaning the year the world started, then the pre-dynastic Egyptians were leaving us artifacts form one thousand seven hundred and three years (give or take) before the beginning of the world. That's some trick.

Magus, when examining the Hebrew calendar, remember that the Hebrew calendar used today is believed to date from some time in the 4th century CE (see Hillel II).

The Gregorian calendar is younger than the Julian. Pope Gregory modified Julius Ceasars Calendar somewhere around 500 A.D. So the modern Calendar has only existed for like 1500 -2000 years.

Or Egyptians didn't exist when people think they did.

Or more likely, that Egyptians really did exist in 5000 BCE, and the Hebrew calendar is wrong about there being nothing before year 1.

Because i glanced over Mageth saying the Gregorian calendar was made in 16th century C.E, so was thinking He meant 1600 B.C.E. I don't use Common Era or before common era, i use Before Christ and Anno Domini, so didn't think about C.E and AD when i glanced over it.

So you expect us to reject all the real, documented, and virtually universally-accepted (outside a few cranks, apparently) archaeological evidence for ancient civilizations in Egypt in favor of the absolutely zero evidence for a global flood?

Like I said, this is surreal.

We do have evidence for the flood, you just don't like it because it opposes evolution and the fundie science view of how the Earth formed.
