So, he's saying that believing in the Bible isn't as difficult as rocket science?
Well I'd agree, lol. Considering that believing in the Bible doesn't take any science, just "read what we tell you, it's true because we say so."
Um, Ussher didn't write the bible, or add anything to it. The supposed age of the earth is not even mentioned therein.
How do we know for sure that all the begats are correctly and completely listed, anyway?
No, it's called blindly following church tradition, and it's terribly ignorant. For all the glorification the Bible gets from these ignoramuses they so seldom are aware of it's actual contents and lessons.
Damn right it's not rocket science, rocket science requires one to have more then 3 brain cells to rub together.
It's not science period, it's just plain stupid bullshit!
Rocket science has diddly-squat to do with geology, geneaology or cultural history.
Does the Bible say how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden? Maybe they lived there ten thousand years? Some people in the Bible lived to be hundreds of years, how then do you calculate generations. Sarah was over 50 when she had Isaac, wasn't she? (Beyond childbearing years, you know.) And then we have men marrying children of 12 who bear children just a few years later.
Nope, definitely not rocket science...
Ah, believing in the Bible. Even suggesting that this kind of thinking would make him feel at home in the Bronze age doesn't paint him as sufficiently ignorant, due to the offense that this might cause to the Greeks and Egyptians.
Confused?
