How old is our world? A biblical timeline.

[Omegatime]

What year was the Exodus plus or minus 2 centuries?

Exodus date of 2553 on Passover or 1447 BC

1 Kings 6:1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord.

Exodus Date 2553 plus 480 = year 3033

Considering all scholars see David reigning 1000BC, my timeline fits well

Noah was still alive when Abraham was born.

That's rubbish and based on the corrupted genealogy of Genesis 11.

Did he remain a drunkard after cursing Ham's son?

How many times does a guy have to get drunk for you to call him an alcoholic? The point of it even being mentioned was to establish that Canaan was the bastard son of Ham and Noah's wife. That Noah's wife was Ham's mother is assumed, but can't be known for sure, but enough of that rabbit hole. It could be its own thread.

We do know Noah lived through the division of tongues after the Tower of Babel.

Again, rubbish. Died ≈50 years before Peleg was born. See above.

Ham had his own wife.

Again I ask you

Please give the book, chapter and verses of where you are getting this information.
If you cannot then who can ever believe what you say?

If you are going to call the biblical record corrupted and rubbish then there is no reason to speak to you about it.

The text only says God separated light from darkness.
It does not say He turned the light off each night.
It could be a spatial separation, where one region experienced light while another experienced darkness, or some other arrangement known only to God.

I'm not arguing with you here, just giving my take, which is worth what you paid.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The beginning is self explanatory, and logically there should be an end, no?

The heaven (small "h") is all space in the universe coming into existence. Most translations render it "heavens", but that's incorrect, and values matter here.

The earth (small "e") is all matter in the universe coming into existence as one body of water. The "face" of the deep, singular. Again, values matter.

At that point the aforementioned body of water is in total darkness, either literally or figuratively.

God then declares "light" (Heat? The electromagnetic spectrum? Electricity itself? A positive charge to darkness's negative charge?) into existence, sees that it's like Himself, then separates it from the darkness? Who can fathom what that even means or looked like? Certainly not I, but I feel like (Yes, my feelings!) it's basically God charging the great cosmic Battery that powers the universe to this day, and like all batteries, it has a finite quantity of power.

Comparative mythology suggests that multiple "gods" created everything, and Job 38 reveals that the angels at least witnessed, and possibly participated in, some or all of the Creation. I could go on about this but it might make somebody hysterical and report me for heresy, so I'll quit here.
