Some writers are careful. They double check numbers before using them. But other arrogant blowhards do not. At the Gem State Patriot News on October 2, 2022 there is an article by Dr. John Livingston titled Has America Lost Its Roots? His second paragraph contains the following gem:
“… In Genesis, the material –dust and the transcendental-spirit, were joined together. With the Incarnation ‘the word became flesh’ and dwelt amongst us.’ That idea has been the basis of Western Civilization for over 8000 years. Cosmology—anthropology—Christology all connected. The physical and the spiritual. No other religion and no other political models including the ‘isms’ make this connection. Only in the Christian-Judeo tradition is the importance of the individual person so important. That is because we were made by God and for God.”
But 8000 years is way too long, as shown above via a PowerPoint timeline. According to the Hebrew calendar (which begins at Creation) we just started the year 5783. If you had been paying any attention to recent news, you would have heard that. For example, another article from CNN published by CBS News Baltimore on September 26, 2022 titled 5 things to know about Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year begins:
“Sunday is the start of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, which marks the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days. The millennia old holiday is an occasion for reflection, and is often celebrated with prayer, symbolic foods, and the blowing of a traditional horn called a shofar. This year’s Rosh Hashanah marks the start of year 5783 in the Hebrew calendar.”
On July 20, 2022 I blogged about a previous article from John in a post titled Unsupported statements from an arrogant blowhard.
