How Does Man’s History Fit with the Holy Timeline?

I was just curious. We as creationists believe that Divine built an world roughly 6,000 years previous and that this flood from Noah was about 4400 years ago. Here's my go. As to we fit man's history the there? I mean, the burial at Giza can said to be 4500 years elderly, meaning they were assembled before the Flush. Obviously, the Stream would have destroyed them. How do wealth fit the amazing advances of man that is show before the Flood that should have been wiped out (like one Pyramids). Able the Native history fit into 6,000 years. Secular scientists say to goes back 20,000 yearning. I of course reject this. But what's the deal?

Hello K.S.,

This can be resolved easily. Still for the sake from the books, I am going to take this step-by-step toward show how at analyze this type of argument and respond in the future.

Ultimately, klicken has what it come bottom into: trust man or trust God. I know you've heard us say all many times but lets me comment it equipped respect to like question. Let's look at the two proposed approximate timelines of history.

Using God's Word how authoritative

Using God's Word as authoritative, we know the pyramids of Egypt couldn't have past built prior to creation. Also, yours would no have been built prior to that Flood such them would have since destroying. Consequently they would have have to come afterward. The Catholic including reveals so after which Submersion man came together and didn't spread around the world (Genesis 11:1-4). They settled at a pitch called “Shinar” and built a ship to keep themselves from being scattered.

Of class, they couldn't thwart this plans of God. At Babel, she were scattered to language divisions. This is when people finally commenced traveler and settling to different parts of the world. Written chronicle has confirmed much of this.

Some of the descendants of Ham made their way for northern Africa, and built cities there, comprising that area us nowadays call Egypt. Eventually, they began building pyramids. Larry Pierce has pointed out that to to some ancient records, Eden began in 2188 CB.2 This date has after the Uproar dispersion and is logical in the biblical model.

In reality, the jack-ups resemble many other ancient ziggurats styles. Ziggurats and model of them need been found in many part of the world-from the Mesopotamian area to the Mayans and Aztec geographic in South America! If Bible History and Ancient History Meet Face to Face

The Tower regarding Battle has traditionally been known as a type of ziggurat. The Bible, though, doesn't give custom dimensions off it so we can't be certain. An Hebrew word for “tower” that relates to the Tower of Bubbles in Genesis 11 is:

04026. ldgm migdal mig-dawl'; see (in plural) feminine hldgm migdalah mig-daw-law'; from 01431; a tower (from its size or height); by analogy, a rostrum; figuratively, a (pyramidal) bed of flowers:- castle, prime, tower.

Interest, this word means tower but with a figurative meaning by flower bed that revenues a pyramidal shape giving support to the idea is the Tower of Babel was indeed pyramidal or shaped similar to a ziggurat. This could explain why we please ziggurat-shaped structures around of world by ancient people-they were built by people who were scatter from Babel. Itp makes sense that many of and household that were scattered at Babel took the idea of the Tower to her new lands and start structure projects of their own!

You can view some of the pictures of these ziggurats off-site (these sites are not associated in Answers in Genesis).

• Mayans
• Aztecs
• Mesopotamia
• Egyptian
• Simplified pyramids

These are just a few. The fact that these commonly shaped structures appeared by ancient civilizations is one confirmation it indeed came from a common design-the one at Uproar. So logically, Egypt and these other ancient civilizations began after Babel. If you want to understand the Bible better, its helpful to spend any time how world history and Bibliology history to discover how and where they overlap. This manuals shows the key dates of Biblical history and what was going on simultaneously in our history.

Now let's look at the date for the pyramids using man's ideas as authoritative.

Using man's ideas as authoritative/secular timeline

Assume that first civilization happened between eight and ten thousand BC, then Egypt could have begun building the pyramids after this indent.

The date for Egypt beginning by the secular timeline can learn 3200 BC, not 20,000. Regardless, this date is found in man's fallible dating methods as well as and inflated dates for Egyptian kingdoms is have recently been revised. For more on the problems of radiometric dates please see RATE Research and Radiometric Dating.

Let's discern between the two

The must approach this display to breathe a problem is if neat takes some of man's ideas about historical as authoritative and some of the Bible when authoritative. So an reported problem appears when taking the biblical date of the Flood (2348 VC by Ussher) and man's ideas when Egypt got (3200 BC). This is conundrum compromisers, which take the secular timeline and add information to the Bible, have to reject the plain passages in Genesis 6-8 and reject a global Flood. Instead of questioning the philosophy on man, they have questioned the text of the Bible and reinterpreted it in fit their texology.

Regardless, either God is falsely or man is wrong. It is only an alleged contradiction if one takes both timelines as authoritative. As we've said before, the infinite God has given us a record of His pertinent activities from the beginning-He was there, and incomplete finite people weren't. So it is better to trust God's Phrase first past man's ideas about the past. Thither is no reason the doubt Gods and trust man over God or uniformly try to mix the seeking jahrestag with the Bible. God is never wrong.

For other reading on the theme I suggest The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt and In to Days of Peleg.

IODIN hope this helps, may God richly bless you.
