Time was a challenge. Though different geographic areas have the means to measure time. The author made sense of the timelines.

It is never a surprise that time varies acording to difference in places. Yes, time is determine differently by geographical location. Hence, the reason why there is no uniformity in the measurement of time everywhere

Measuring time in the past was much more difficult than it is today. So they gauged it to the best of their understanding. It’s fair to say time is relative and this book seems to have expressed that well.

Trying to relate to time in the days of the bible can be very difficult especially for the fact that time varies based on the people who uses it. The author just tried modifying the bibilical time to what we generally accept to be our present time.

I did notice that, but the author comparatively measured time on earth and that presumed for God. He didn't measure according to the ethnicity.

It is accurate to say that a place's location affects how it perceives time and space. In addition, there are regional variations in the universality of time.

I agree, but time is relative. The authors did their best to express it in a simple way.

Time itself is a difficult idea to grasp. That is a problem of geography and history.

The issue of time is caused by the era and geography of people. The writers of the Bible were not wrong. That's just how time was measured in their era. We have to stop discrediting them and their work.

It varies depending on the geographical location. So it won’t be easy to conclude on the accuracy of the time and date provided.

Time is a complex concept on its own. As Einstein said, time is relative to space, long ago no one had an instrument to measure time hence they only relate the message based on the standard time measurements.
