2:08 "on the internet"
To some YEC in the US, the main source for the "moyboy" ideology would be the internet.
Over here in France, and I think that's the case in some parts of NYC and LA, some guys may in reverse have the internet as their main source for the YEC antidotes.
5:44 I'd read that as 480 years minimally.
Neither the Roman Martyrology for Christmas Day nor the chronology of Syncellus take that timespan as 480 years.
In the RMCD, David is anointed in 1033 BC. That's 51 years before the Temple, which must therefore be in 982 BC. The Exodus was in 1511 BC.
In Sync. both anointing and Temple are given separately, it is the Temple that's in 1032 BC, the anointing in 1083 BC. The Exodus however in 1683 BC.
There are two ways to deal with it. a) it's a question of text variants, b) the years mentioned in III Kings 6:1 (which by the way is for the beginning of the temple, not the completion) are a minimum, like Jephtha also gave a minimum. There were more than 300 years when Jephtha spoke, there were more than 480 years when Solomon set out building. But there were at least 300 years when Jephtha spoke, and at least 480 years when Solomon began to build.
7:44 Maccabees? Time to reconsider Protestantism? There are 45 miles or 73 km from Saloniki (Thessalonica) to Veria (Beroea), suggesting an OT of 45~46 and a total Bible of 72~73 books. That would include I and II Maccabees.
If you refer to the sentence "that there was no prophet seen in Israel" in Maccabees 9:27, two approaches can be taken.
I would say one need not be a prophet to be a hagiographer. St. Luke's every sentence was on God's initiative, nevertheless his every sentence was also his work as a historian.
In this vein, when Jesus speaks of "the law and the prophets" He's leaving aside the "writings" as they were not yet unanimously accepted canon among the Jews.
Catholic answers has another approach, the sentence is in the past. The author is not denying prophets have already (in the OT era) returned. From Luke 2:36 we know there was at least one prophetess around before Jesus was born. She was already established in the role.
14:15 If Jews wanted to take a try, they could probably go for "was the family of Jesus recorded after 70 AD" and it was.
The early Christian historian Sextus Julius Africanus (died c. 240), in his "Genealogy of the Holy Gospels", referred to "relatives of our Lord according to the flesh" whom he called desposyni, meaning "from the Lord's family".[74] Of these individuals, only the 2nd century Bishop of Jerusalem Judah Kyriakos is historically attested by name.
Judah Kyriakos, also known popularly as Judas of Jerusalem, was the great-grandson of Jude, brother of Jesus, and the last Jewish Bishop of Jerusalem, according to Epiphanius of Salamis[1] and Eusebius of Caesarea.[2] He is sometimes regarded as the great-grandnephew of Jesus.
I'd disagree on "last Jewish" since the Palestinians are basically Christian Jews, but records from before AD 70 are not strictly necessary.
15:52 In the Old law, marrying first cousins was not forbidden.
In Church law it has become so.
Fourth cousin is the last illicit or first licit to marry, sideways. But that only came after Christ.
26:56 "Chinese history" ... with a LXX timeline for Genesis 11, and given the oldest emperors are living in a Palaeolithic society, it actually fits the Biblical narrative.
28:32 The carbon date for Jericho is 80 years early. 1550 vs real 1470.
Soon enough, you come to a point of 100 pmC, from when you get to modern day, except the Hallstadt plateau, with fairly workable dates before and after that. I'd put that point at fall of Troy.
Speaking of Hallstadt plateau, archaeologists dismissed the Founding of Rome because the oldest carbon dates they found of a City-Scape were 550 BC. Now, the Hallstadt plateau, anything 750 to 450 BC dates as 550 BC. Connect the dots. Livy was right about when Rome was founded, presumably on how many kings there were, one can even imagine that's confirmed by the Apocalypse.
(7 Kings, 8th one of the Seven ... Romulus through Tarquin the Haughty, Caesar)
(3 Kings taken away ... each Triumvirate ended).
(10 Kings ... Rome had several ten-men committees with partly royal functions, like one or two in legislation, and there were still ten-men committees in Caesar's time, presumably when the Apocalypse was written).
29:04 Two things on the buildup.
1) Whichever length you give the pre-Flood world, it's easy to calculate how much C-14 is added in that time, at today's speed. a) calculate how much is lost in that time in a sample, b) regard the atmosphere as a sample and the buildup as the compensation for a, c) that's the buildup, supposing you have the same amount of overall carbon (pmC is a ratio, not an amount) and the same amount of C-14 produced.
0.5(1307/5730) = 85.376 %, buildup 14.624 pmC
0.5(1656/5730) = 81.847 %, buildup 18.153 pmC
0.5(2262/5730) = 76.061 %, buildup 23.939 pmC
There clearly was less than that at the Flood. So, in the pre-Flood world, the buildup must have been slower. The first of these gives only 15 900 extra years. I'm going for 34 000 extra years. 1.636 pmC at the Flood.
2) But in the post-Flood world the buildup must have been quicker. Genesis 14 happened when Abraham was c. 80. MT 80 + 292 = 372. SP and some manuscripts of LXX, Genesis 14 is 1022 after the Flood. Standard manuscripts of LXX, 1150 after the Flood.
0.5(372/5730) = 95.6 %, 4.4 pmC buildup
0.5(1022/5730) = 88.370 %, 11.63 pmC buildup
0.5(1150/5730) = 87.013 %, 12.987 pmC buildup.
You add 1.636 pmC to 12.987 pmC, forget about counting the decay, you get only 14.623 pmC. As said, that's 15 900 extra years. For Genesis 14, you need only 1565 extra years, 1935 is dated as 3500 BC, you need a way higher pmC, 82.753 instead of 14.623, so you need a higher speed of production. 82.753 - 1.636 = 81.117 pmC added.
81.117 / 4.4 = 18.436 times faster than now
81.117 / 11.63 = 6.975 times faster than now
81.117 / 12.987 = 6.246 times faster than now
So, before Flood, much slower than now. Flood to Genesis 14, considerably faster than now. Genesis 14 to present, at least at first, faster than now. But it slowed down.
Genesis 14 = 1935 BC
Beginning of Hallstadt plateau = 750 BC
1185 years.
0.5(1185/5730) = 86.645 %, 13.355 pmC buildup.
1935, 1565 extra years, 82.753 pmC
750, 200 years too young, 102.449 pmC
82.753 * 86.645 / 100 = 71.701 pmC remaining
102.449 - 71.701 = 30.748 pmC added
30.748 / 13.355 = 2.302 times as fast, from Genesis 14 to beginning of Hallstadt plateau.
