Answer/Pointer: |
From The Bible as History, by Werner Keller 220.95 Kel, p. 414:
" In 1654 Archbishop Ussher of Ireland, declared that the Creation took place at 9 A.M. on October 26 in the year 4004 B.C.,
basing his claim on a careful study of the scriptures. For more than a century this date, the result of conscientious calculations,
was regarded as valid. Anyone who suggested an earlier date was considered a heretic,"
