A plain reading of the Genesis account clearly relates to us that the creation of the heavens and the earth occured about 6,000 years ago, with Noah’s Flood about 4,400 years ago, the Exodus about 3,500 years ago, and the incarnation of Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago, so on what basis are we to believe that the biblical accounts from before the time of Moses weren’t just dreamed up by Moses to make his people’s history look important to the nations against whom they struggled? Is that jewish history uniquely precise?
Please refer to article #13 at http://GenesisVeracity.com to see that all but the six days of creation in the Genesis account was by eyewitness, biblical patriarchs, as evidenced with certain jewish words used in Genesis (which means origins, the word toledoth in the Hebrew), which when put into context with the cuneiform writing customs which the Jews utilized before their time in Egypt (where they would write on papyrus), demonstrates that the records in the Genesis account are by eyewitnesses, recorded on clay tablets, which Moses later edited by updating place names and may have redacted some of the content under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
And to see the overwhelming evidence that biblical history, especially Noah’s Flood, is real history, please take advantage of the free ebook download of my first book, Old Earth? Why Not!, here at this website under Books and DVD’s on the toolbar above. And I’ll give you a sneak preview now, the Deluge did not cover today’s high mountain ranges, because today’s mountains rose at the close of the Deluge, when Mt. Ararat (a then growing volcanic mountain) poked through the receding Deluge waters where the Ark came to rest. See how the evidences from all the germane disciplines corroborate and confirm the Genesis account of ancient history, and refer to chapter 21 in the ebook for an elaboration on article #13 at http://GenesisVeracity.com.
