It's Not the Years, Honey... - Episode 052

The ancient world did not use numbers in the way that we use them today.  Learning about this can help us see Genesis 1 as historical account while acknowledging that creation may not have happened just as described.  Michael LeFebvre's book, The Liturgy of Creation, explains how the Torah's dating system is not based on precise chronology, but rather is based on the festival calendar of Israel--and this actually gives us more evidence of Genesis as historical account!  **New website is here!!! www.genesismarksthespot.com  My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/   Liturgy of Creation:  https://www.amazon.com/Liturgy-Creation-Understanding-Calendars-Testament/dp/083085262X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SYN186C9D0CO&keywords=liturgy+of+creation&qid=1701895856&sprefix=liturgy+of+creation%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-1  Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/ Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan
