There is so much wrong in that blast that I don’t know where to start.

Ussher’s analysis of the genealogical facts of the Bible was complex, and involved factoring in prophetic statements on individuals who were to be omitted from genealogies.

The length of the year actually evens out over long periods, and there is absolutely nothing “loose” about the Biblical calendar, which is quite precisely set by new moons, and is adjusted based on the ripeness of the barley crop each and every year, so that the Adar Bet is implemented at the correct time to keep the Biblical year in sync with the actual seasons.

This jogging of the new year is important to many prophecies, and is useful to identify precise periods in Bible history to mathematically prove them at our present time.
