Nonsense, you are mistaken too, the most impressive and important work of his life was his hairstyling.Jack21222 said:Well, he was mistaken; that wasn't the most important work of his life. If he had spent more time on math, he could have made progress on the n-body problem, instead of throwing up his hands and saying "goddidit."
xxChrisxx said:Yes. Sitting down and reading that and calculating it is a total waste of time. He could have been off playing cricket, or learning to ballroom dance, or gone to the pub.
madness said:I agree. But I would say the same thing about most academics today shut away in a dark room for 14 hours a day. Anyway, the point was that he did have plenty to do with his time but felt that this was the most important.
http://www.jewfaq.org/calendar.htmThe year number on the Jewish calendar represents the number of years since creation, calculated by adding up the ages of people in the Bible back to the time of creation.

Discipline man, discipline, I tried, it was too boring.
Based on radioisotopic analysis, the age of the Earth is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years - give or take. The age of the sun and solar system is a bit older.chrisalviola said:I just listen and ask people who actually read the bible, and every time I asked them a question, based on creationism is it really 6K years old? they say its no where in the bible that say that. I believe that the Earth is a lot older than that.

The Bible does not explicitly state the age of the earth. However, there are multiple interpretations and calculations that have been proposed based on biblical genealogies and historical events.
The most commonly accepted age of the earth based on the Bible is around 6,000 to 10,000 years old. This calculation is based on the genealogies in the book of Genesis and other biblical events.
Biblical scholars use the genealogies and historical events recorded in the Bible to calculate the age of the earth. This involves tracing the lineages of biblical figures and estimating the amount of time between events.
Other scientific theories, such as radiometric dating and geological evidence, suggest that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. These theories are based on scientific evidence and do not align with the biblical account of creation.
There is a difference between the biblical account of the earth's age and scientific theories, but this does not necessarily mean there is a conflict. Many people hold the belief that science and religion can coexist and that the Bible should not be taken literally in terms of the earth's age.
