Re: Fw: Re: [asa] young earthers

What do you mean by exact dates?

Usher did give other chronological dates, but I suspect you are refering to
many uncommon events with dates.

Here is what Usher stated regarding his October 23rd date:

"In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth, Gen. 1, v. 1. Which
beginning of time, according to our Chronologie, fell upon the entrance of
the night preceding the twenty third day of Octob[er] in the year of the
Julian [Period] 710. The year before Christ 4004. The Julian Period 710"
