Cubits to metres
The Bible measures in cubits, an elbow-to-fingertip length of about 45.7 cm (18 inches).
Try 300 (Noah's Ark, Genesis 6:15) or 6.5 (Goliath, 1 Samuel 17:4).
How long ago?
Turn a date into years before today. Use a minus sign for BCE.
−1446 is one traditional date for the Exodus; −2348 is Ussher's date for the flood.
Big numbers, made human
Shrink the age of the universe into one year and see where something lands.
6,000 years is the young-Earth age. See the cosmic calendar.
- Find the original. The verse in Hebrew or Greek, the study itself, the actual survey, not a quote of a quote.
- Check who's saying it. A peer-reviewed journal or university is not the same as a blog or a ministry page (or this site).
- Look for the other side's answer. If both sides agree on a fact, it's probably solid.
- Ask what would change your mind. Then go and look for exactly that.
