    Bible chronology is certified as true...

    THIS IS begging the question. You have all your work ahead of you to show that 'bible chronology' is anything more than the ravings of Iron Age drug addicts.

    There is no proof that scientific dating debunks Bible chronology.

    59,700 scientific articles explaining why radiometric dating is accurate.

    164,000 scientific articles explaining how sedimentary rocks are dated

    56,400 scientific articles describing how fossils are dated

    134,000 scientific articles describing different radiometric techniques

    77,500 scientific articles describing how and why radiometric dating can give false results

    Where are your half a million papers showing bible chronology is reliable?

    Obviously, the certification is believed to come from Jesus by referring to to Adam and Eve as historical. In fact the whole story of Adam is integrated with JC life and ministry and death as a ransom. The point that you fail to grasp is that according to the Bible, A&E were not allegorical and Jesus verified or certified their existence as being created. Also, Jesus genealogy stated in the Bible shows historical characters and the the time frame of that chronology can be extrapolated to a number less than scientific dating. Therefore based on JC, Bible chronology is certified as true so there is good reason for JW to believe Bible chronology compared to scientific dating. Obliviously cofty doesn’t have to believe JC or the Bible but in order to debunk the belief of those that do, you need to prove that humans existed before when Bible chronology says so and that has not been done. So the belief stands.

    OP: Is Bible chronology true?

    No, it is not.

    But I don't think that's the answer you want to hear.

    If Jesus believed Adam and Eve were real people, he was wrong. But setting aside the fact that there is no evidence that Jesus said anything attributed to him in the Bible, Jesus never even mentions Adam or Eve, much less saying they are historical..

    In one anecdote about divorce, Jesus alludes to the Jewish creation myth in passing without naming the characters, in the same way he alludes to various stories. But there is no more reason to take it as ‘validation’ of Adam than it is to believe the Good Samaritan or the prodigal son were real people.

    Fisherman: The Bible says that humans began to exist some 6000 years ago whereas scientific dating says much older.

    I don't think the Bible says that, it's just what people have extrapolated from (possibly incorrect or incomplete) genealogical lists in the text. Thus, the comparison is between ancient writings of indeterminate authorship and questionable reliability versus decades -if not centuries- of scientific research by millions of people in several (dozens?) of different fields of study and learning, which is documented and testable.

    It takes a half million papers and philosophical appeals to christian thinkers to try to prove an argument?

    All you need is to prove the dating is one measurement. Can you do that empirically or do you need millions of documents to explain?
