i think it was also more precise: 9 am on oct 23, 4004 BCE. do look up the hilarity on (primate) ussher's wikipedia site. (oh, i see now he said it was nightfall the previous day. wait, how can there be night if the world, and most particularly the sun, hadn't been created yet? oh well, suspension of disbelief is required in these cases.)
question: if the world is only 6000 years old, how come some fossils are millions of years old?
answer from semitic fundamentalist: yhwh decided to play a prank on us, so he made the fossils LOOK millions of years old although he made them on 4004 BCE, oct 23, at 10 am. yhwh is god, so he can do it. who said yhwh does not have a sense of humor?
(this is pretty close to the actual answer from creationists in the us).
