ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE of the CALENDAR
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for LONGEVITY in GENESIS
Most of the Genesis patriarchs lived 9 centuries or more.
Methuselah actually got to see 969 orbits of the Earth about the sun,
lasting 969 years,
tropical years of 365.242 mean solar days each,
siderial years of 365.256 mean solar days each.
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
The earth spins around once a day, exactly 27.3 times about an imaginary axis
while the moon makes one complete orbit about the earth.
Psalm 104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
The moon shows only one face to the dwellers of the earth,
a full moon, a new moon and two half moons
within the time span of a month.
