Josephus states that the temple foundation was laid in Cyrus' second year then that would nicely coincide
[lots of redundant whitespace]
The comments of Josephus are not inconsistent with the Return of the Jews by the seventh month in 537 BCE
Feel free to explain how May of 536 BCE (as required by your 'interpretation') can coincide with Cyrus' second year.

Absolute Data should have read Absolute Date which is the Fall of Babylon in 539 BCE.
You are yet to provide any basis for your dogmatic claim about 537.

pseudo-scholar:
The very fact that you omit any reference to the 586/587 controversy belittles your nonsense for most serious scholarship prefers 586 as you well know.
I've determined that 586 is mathematically impossible based on the various dating systems used in various sources. Additionally, your claim that scholars prefer 586 is not only a lie, but it also contradicts your claim that there is a controversy. Your strawman argument about my blog is an irrelevant desperate attempt to ignore the actual material presented. You are not worthy of my time. I reply to your drivel only for the benefit of other readers.

There is no speculation or circular reasoning regarding the calculation of 607 for it begins with an Absolute Data and relevant scriptural data for the Return of the Jews in 537,
Moron. Feel free to provide your 'absolute data' for the Jews' return in 537...

Your omitting any refernce to Josephus undermines the credibility of your presentation for he is the only authority of Jewish biblical history outside of the Bible writers.
Josephus confirms that the temple foundations were laid in the second year of Cyrus. This confirms that the Jews returned in 538 BCE.
Josephus also confirms the period from the fall of Israel until the reign of Cyrus as 182.5 years.
Seriously, you're just going to embarrass yourself.

pseudo-scholar:
So this means that any argument against a definite, calculated date such as 607 is superfluous if such critics cannot determine a precise calender date for the Fall. You would need to get this right before saying that 607 is wrong.
And that is even stupider than the other things you said. 607 isn't a "precise calendar date". It's based on speculation and circular reasoning about the entirely arbitrary selection of 537 in order to maintain 2520 years before 1914. In fact, the Watch Tower Society changed the alleged date of the return of the Jews in the 1940s from 536 to 537, when they realised there was no 'year 0', prior to which, they dogmatically asserted that Jerusalem 'definitely' fell in 606 BCE.

pseudo-scholar:
The ending of the Exile in 537 BCE is the best candidate for this event according to current scholarship fore 538 BCE is considered to be impossible and 535 and other later dates are simply impossible.
Wow. He's not even attempting a cogent argument. There is no 'current scholarship' that says 538 is 'impossible'. And there is no reason at all to say 537 is "the best candidate". Especially if you accept what was written in the book of Ezra.
The only reason the Watch Tower Society insists on 537 is it is required for their dogma about 1914. It is based entirely on circular reasoning and eisegesis.
Seriously, just go away.

pseudo-scholar:
However, one of your biggest problems is the fact that even to this day scholars do not know the precise calender year for the Fall whether it is 586 or 587 BCE for the Fall.
No. You're an idiot. It was definitely 587.
It might be better if you just go away before you embarrass yourself further.
