Line 149:
Line 149: − − Larry Pierce, another defender of Ussher, made the erroneous statement that Thiele seems to have assumed that Uzziah, whom II Kings states was 16 years old when he began to reign, was granted a viceroyship fully eight years before he was born. That this charge against Thiele is entirely false can be seen by referring to Appendix C of ''Mysterious Numbers'', where Thiele gives the age of Uzziah when he became coregent (Pierce’s “viceroy”) as 16. To make such plainly wrong statements does not reflect well on Pierce’s scholarship. Leslie McFall pointed this out to Pierce, who responded by saying that what Thiele actually meant was that Uzziah became ''viceroy'' at sixteen, not ''sole ruler'' at 16. Pierce then charged that McFall then proceeded to alter the text of Scripture itself,<ref>{{Bible ref|book=II_Kings|chap=14|verses=21}} and {{Bible ref|book=II_Chronicles|chap=26|verses=1}}</ref> a proposition Pierce denounced as outrageous.{{Citation needed}} But it was Pierce who was wrong. McFall, who wrote his Cambridge doctoral thesis on aspects of the Hebrew verbal system, was entirely correct in what he said, whereas their published writings show that neither Larry Pierce nor Floyd Nolen Jones are familiar with the Hebrew language.

Some Ussherites contend that while Ussher assumed the primacy of Scripture, Thiele assumed the primacy of secular historical records (what Ussher called "profane history"). But anyone who has read, and understood, Thiele’s works will know that this is quite the opposite of the facts.
