i dont need to bob and weave..im more then happy to address this
chronology is worked out by counting the time between major events... im giving only the 3 you've asked for here...there are other events that also add to biblical chronology.
Exodus from Egypt - 1513 BCE
Two chronological statements harmonize to produce this date. Solomon began the building of the temple in his fourth year of kingship (1034 B.C.E.), and this is stated at 1 Kings 6:1 to be “the four hundred and eightieth year” from the time of the Exodus (1513 B.C.E.).
the flood - 2370 B.C.E
Many years were spent building the ark, and they went into it “in the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month (Oct-NOv), on the seventeenth day of the month.” Ge 7:11
Adams creation - 4026 B.C.E
Adam lived 930 years, Ge 5:3-32 gives a line of decent from Adam, to the start of the flood (when noah was 600yrs old) there were a total of 1,656 years.
im happy to clarify anything here with more detailed information.
Thanks. I don't mean to be rude but you would not believe how difficult it is to get a Biblical literalist to provide exact dates even when they claim to know what they are.
Your courage in this matter is noted.
Now you do realize that these dates conflict with a lot of evidence from several fields so be prepared for some serious objections from many professionals, myself included if I feel anything is overlooked.
