By the way, you STILL haven't given me that verse in Psalms...
Sorry, I thought there was something in Psalms. I was misinformed. But i I was correct about stating that Creationists believe that the world is only 6000 years old.
To obtain a Biblically- based answer, we must combine four lines of evidence. 1) First Kings 6:1 records that the construction of Solomon's Temple began 480 years after the Exodus. 2) Exodus 12:40, 41 specify a 430-year period of residence in Egypt before the Exodus [8]. 3) The chronological data in Genesis 11 indicate a 642-year span between the Flood and Jacob's move to Egypt. 4) Historical data enables us to place the start of construction for Solomon's Temple at 970 B.C
Here's everything worked out
Well, its hard to say what Creationists believe since the on going eisegetical spin-doctoring of the Bibles text. But it does seem that you do got a good timeline worked out. Some of the bible is obviously true, like the evidence that you provided, but thats circumstantial evidence, nothing that proves God or Jesus. Mainly from writings and rumors from "Wisemen"
