Happy 6007th!
According to Bishop James Ussher's 1650 calculations, today is the 6007th anniversary of earth's creation. Based on his interpretation of the Bible, Ussher determined that the earth was created on Sunday October 23, 4004 BCE (note that there was no year zero). Not sure how God could justify such an immense effort on the Sabbath (of course it really wasn't the Sabbath since God is Jewish) but I suppose as God he wouldn't have to defend his own morality anyway. Unbelievably enough, there are a still people who accept the Ussher-Lightfoot calendar and argue that scientific chronologies are wrong and will eventually be modified such that they concur with the Bishop's findings! /dps
