Based on Brad Harrub's comments it appears, at least to me, that he believes there is a vast far-left conspiracy to remove God from the educational system. When most likely they are just trying to sell text books which are out of fashion today. Reminds me of folks who think going to college causes one to lose their faith.
Ussher deduced that the first day of creation began at nightfall preceding Sunday, October 23, 4004 BC, in the proleptic Julian calendar, near the autumnal equinox. Lightfoot similarly deduced that Creation began at nightfall near the autumnal equinox, but in the year 3929 BC. Hmmm, 75 years difference. Based on Ussher, creation was 6017 years ago and Lightfoot 6042 years. Dr. Brad was pretty emphatic creation was 10000 years ago, differs with Ussher by 3983 years but does not explain his thinking. Which are we to believe?
