10/23/4004 B.C. – This it the DATE, worked out by Archbishop James Ussher, that God “created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1.1). He went so far as to give a time – 9:00 a.m. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). James Ussher (born 1/4/1581 in Dublin, Ireland, died 3/21/1656) did more than any known man to mathematically arrive (working backward) at the dates of Creation and the Flood. He was a part if the Irish Church and was Calvinistic in his thinking.
Though many would not contend for this exact day, or hour 🙂 , the good bishop is correct in his approximation of this date for the earth and its heaven being made by the Creator.

Since both those great lights stopped and started together, the astronomical account of this is not invalidated by this event. Even as music, the harmony is not broken, nor do the voices clash if they all rest at the same time and then begin again, each man playing his part until the end of the piece.
