I do not know him. I am not RC.

He used the Bible to pinpoint the exact moment of creation, which he put down as occuring in October 4004 BC. Can the Bible be wrong in this respect?

Can the Bible be wrong in this respect?

The Bible is always correct (in it's original form) but man can be wrong in how they interpret it.

I believe Genesis tells us that the earth is millions or billions of years old but that this age started about 14,000 years ago.

Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
It didn't say when that was, just "in the begining".

1:2 (first 1/2) And the earth "was" without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
The word "was" was mistranslated and should be "became" - the earth became without form and void.

1:2 (last 1/2) And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

That was the beginning of the first day of this age. Then factor in that 1,000 years is as one day to God (2 Peter 3:8). So, the first 7,000 years went by, Adam was formed in the 8th. There were 4,000 years from Adam to Christ and then 2,000 years since His crucifixion = 14,000 years since the beginning of this age.

Man can surely be wrong.

And revelations to man are limited by the man and the times.
