“it is hard to imagine what it must have been like in the much harsher climate 8,000 years ago.” At no point in the article was the rationale for the dates and how they were determined explained. We are expected to accept it on faith. Nonsense, not this faithless person.

We Jews date our calendar from God’s call of Abraham on Heshvan 5, 5760.

Most Christians/Jews who believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible believe the earth is ~6000 years old. Regardless of what the crazy Pat Robertson believes.
