Hmmm. Google doesn't agree with Dr. Franklin. Obviously, Dr. Franklin is wrong...
Actually, I thought Archbishop Ussher solved this quite a while ago, making our current age approximately 4004 + 2012 = 6016. What do you think of Ussher's chronology?
I don't know who "W.W." is, but he is only five years off Ussher's chronology. I think Ussher's calculations are good, although I wouldn't be dogmatic about the exact dating. I think it is good to notice that before evolutionary thinking, Christian (and Jewish) calculations were pretty close.
