Changes

The following is a list of published opinions by prominent Christians, making an explicit declaration as to the age of the earth, prior to the current [[Theory of Evolution|evolutionary]] age. The differences in the ages below show two approximate dates for the creation of the world, either about 5500BC or about 4000BC. These two dates arise from the fact that the Greek translation of the old testament favored by the early church differs from the Hebrew Masoretic text in the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11.
