"From Adam, the first man created by God, to Noah, at whose time the flood took place, there were ten generations… Noah was 600 years old when the flood of water came upon the earth. Thus 2242 years may be counted from Adam to the flood. There are also ten generations from the flood to Abraham numbering 1121 years… from Abraham to David fourteen generations are numbered for a total of 1024 years. From David to the deportation to Babylon [586 BC] there are fourteen generations totaling 609 years. From the Babylonian Captivity to Christ there are fourteen generations totaling 504 years. By the sequence of Numbers we calculate the number of 5,500 years from the time of the first Adam to Christ.” Writes the Eastern Roman historian Doukas in the year 1460 AD. Add to that the amount of time that has passed since Christ and you have your answer.How old do you think the earth is? I need something to laugh at.
