Of course the "skeptical secular view" is contradictory... what else would it be?

I have looked into that. The most convincing source that I have found presented a face value case that there were multiple inconsistencies (non-sequiturs) in the timelines of Abraham and his descendants as presented in the OT. I could cite the source for you but there is no possibility that you would read it....so I'm wont waste my time or yours.

Ricky Gervais turned the overall biblical timeline issue into a question...."What about the dinosaurs?"

The "ages" is about 5 millennia. Is war a miracle also?
