== Topic on specific date usage within the context of early biblical history. ==
I'm new here to please bear with me :)
My Subject of Discussion is (are) with the dates being used on this and many other pages reflecting biblical chronology. We seem to be using very precise dates, when in fact (biblical studies) demonstrate that we can only come close, even assuming a Young Earth (approx 4000 BC date for creation). I would think it would be more factual to prefix most of these dates given with either "Circa" or "ca", and even perhaps a range of dates, (i.e.; ca 1975 BC - 1950 BC) when an exact year can not be realistically computed. This type of edit would I think provide more validity to the article as a whole. Thoughts anyone ? Unless of course you can actually cite a source for the very specific date(s) being used.
