Quote:was the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland between 1625 and 1656. He was a prolific scholar and church leader, who today is most famous for his identification of the genuine letters of the church father, Ignatius, and for his chronology that sought to establish the time and date of the creation as "the entrance of the night preceding the 23rd day of October... the year before Christ 4004"; that is, around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 bc according to the proleptic Julian calendar.
Basically the William Lane Craig of his day. That's not to defend his arguments, or to say he was right, but to throw him under the bus as "some random guy" is incredibly dishonest.

He is random.
The only authority I'll accept on whether the bible states the earth is 6000 years old... is the bible, I made that pretty clear.
