We've been through this all before. Quote me one established, reputable
*scientific* journal (absolutely no spurious web sites, please) that agrees
with your claim. This claim keeps popping up but there has never been an
answer to my question.
The 6,000 to 10,000 spread is because the 4004 BC date given by Ussher's
Biblical examination is easily disproven by recorded history, much less the
geologic record. Oops! It can't be 6,000 years old? Dang, ummmm, let's
make it 10,000 for some wiggle room. I have pointed this out many times and
have never received an answer.
And please, if you can't give a straight answer (this is for all the
lurkers, really), please don't answer at all! The game of dodgeball gets
tiresome.
