Setting Jesus’ birth on December 25, 0001CE, and then working backwards through all the "And Fleggorath lived a hundred and sixty-eight years and begat Smacko, who lived four hundred and twenty two years and begat Yalky"s until you hit Adam. You arrive at something like 4004BCE. Add the 2025 years since and you get 6029 years. I’ve seen some wackos claim to have calculated it to the day.
For some context, writing emerged in Mesopotamia and Egypt around 3200BCE, and the oldest known cave painting, a hand print on Muna Island in Indonesia, is over 67,000 years old and was made by a Neanderthal, not a Human.
Not only do many religions/sects think they have worked out it out to the day, many also work in the other direction. They read way too much into the various prophecies in Daniel and Revelations, etc, and have claimed to worked out the exact day that Jesus will return. One such example was known as “The great disappointment”
Ok, I guess I’m too lost to christian logic… Where exactly the 6000-6500 years figure is supposed to come from?
It’s from big James Usher trying to pretend the Torah was historical for lolz.

It’s like a Temu Sumerian Kings List
Pretty sure it’s based on all the “so and so who was 300 years old begat so and so who lived to 250 years old etc”
