	Who Wrote Genesis? A Third Theory
		The absence of genealogies with the formula in some of its occurrences has in some circles been put forward as a proof that the text has been extensively redacted (in which case the missing passages must have been deleted and lost, but their introductions preserved -- a singularly unlikely occurrence).
		Genesis purports itself to be a series of histories which together span a thousand years or more.
		Genesis 2:5-6 -- A postscript to Tablet I, the beginning of Tablet II, or a transitional passage designed to add Tablet II to Tablet I. Genesis 2:7-5:2 -- The story of the creation and life of Adam.

	Do the Genesis Genealogies Contain Gaps? - Answers in Genesis
		In this history the function of the horizontal genealogies, such as those dealing with Noah’s three sons, Ishmael’s offspring, and Esau’s descendants (Genesis 10, 25, and 36, respectively), is to show the spread of humanity in general outside the special chosen line.
		Genesis 5 follows a consistent formula in giving the patriarchs’ ages at procreation and death, but the language of Genesis 4 is much less formulaic and the ages are totally missing.
		One is the absence of Noah in Genesis 4.

		The genealogy that is most useful for chronology is one that provides the age of parents at the time of the birth of their children.
		It is interesting, then, that the genealogies of both Genesis 5 and Genesis 11 do provide the age of fathers at the birth of their sons-exactly the kind of information we need in developing a chronology.
		Genesis 10:25 says Eber had two "sons," and the name of one was Peleg, for in his days "the earth was divided." This is repeated in 1 Chron 1:19 for emphasis.

	Hayward, J. L. & Casebolt, D. E. --- The Genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11: A Statistical Study
		For centuries the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 have provided Christians with a chronological framework for history between creation and the time of Abraham.
		A unique feature of these genealogies is that they record the age of each patriarch at the birth of his presumably first-born son and the number of years the patriarch lived after that event.
		Genesis 5 additionally records the age of death of each patriarch, this value being the sum of the first two numbers given.

	bible.org: Coming to Grips with Genealogies (Genesis 5:1-32)
		These genealogies must be esteemed trustworthy for the purposes for which they are recorded; but they cannot safely be pressed into use for other purposes for which they were not intended, and for which they are not adapted.
		In particular, it is clear that the genealogical purposes for which the genealogies were given, did not require a complete record of all the generations through which the descent of the persons to whom they are assigned runs; but only an adequate indication of the particular line through which the descent in question comes.
		Accordingly it is found on examination that the genealogies of Scripture are freely compressed for all sorts of purposes; and that it can seldom be confidently affirmed that they contain a complete record of the whole series of generations, while it is often obvious that a very large number are omitted.

	Notes on Genesis
		The genealogies of Genesis are not likely to be complete and therefore do not function as a chronology.
		The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11:10-26 are both lists of ten names, and both end with the final individual having three significant sons.
		Genesis 3:22-23 records that Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden in order to prevent them from eating the fruit of the Tree of Life and thereby living forever.

	Introduction to Genesis
		Most critical scholars hold that Genesis is made up of three major written sources or traditions that were put together in the final form that we now know it by the Redactor in the 5th Century B.C. The Yahwist Tradition (J): This early source dates from 1000-922 B.C. during the period of David and Solomon.
		J is the originating genius of Genesis as a whole-but J is not the author of the final book.
		The Redactor (R): The hand that readies Genesis in its final form is that of a redactor and not of an author.

	KMT Review of The Moses Mystery
		Central to The Moses Mystery are two assumptions: that, for the Jews, 3761 BC was the beginning of the Genesis genealogies; and that the ages of the patriarchs, as recorded in these genealogies, are reliable.
		What I show in my book is that the Genesis birth and death chronology appears to coincide perfectly, on a direct year-to-year correlation, with the high Egyptian chronology for every datable dynasty down to the Eighteenth and for the ascension dates of several kings in the Twelfth and Eighteenth Dynasties.
		Several other chapters of the book are replete with detailed evidence of the precise alignments between the Genesis birth and death chronologies and the high Egyptian chronology, covering the period from the start of the First Dynasty to the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

		Gardner likewise notes that part of the difficulty in understanding and accepting the manner in which the ancient calendar was presented is due to the mindset of the West, a mindset entrenched in Gregorian calendrics and unaccustomed to accepting biblical-calendrical images interwoven with universal, mythic art-metaphors of humankind (p.
		The text of Genesis (and the Hebrew Bible generally) need not be read at the literal level; a deeper meaning can be found with a significance related to calendrics.
		The lock Gardner selects to test the key is the genealogy of Shem in Gen 11:10-26, selected on the basis that both the Gen 5 and 11 genealogies derive from the same source and Gen 11 is much less complex.

	GIRS Summary Studies in Reformed Theology: The Doctrine of Creation 2
		Many who are pledged to fidelity regarding the biblical texts have also published results that imply that Genesis one indicates a fairly recent time of creation compared with the antiquitous claims of the majority in the scientific community.
		The conclusion drawn in these studies is that the genealogies of the Bible should not be used to produced exact dates for the time of Noah and Adam.
		Each of the six periods of creation in Genesis one begins with the particular desire of God toward one part of that over-all decree being spoken, It shows the implementation of that intention as his plan was supernaturally brought into being in the realm of a physical universe.

	The Biblical Genealogies Were Known To Have Gaps. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Although the genealogies are accurate and representative, I don't believe Moses or his contemporaries viewed them as being complete.
		Why didn't Moses or some other prophet use the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 to compute how long ago the creation of man or Noah's flood occurred.
		Probably because Moses and the prophets knew the genealogies had gaps and were thus incomplete.

		This genealogy, Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, son of Joseph is analogous to the preceding examples except that one more name is included beyond the tribe (Manasseh), division (Machir), and clan (Gilead).
		Typically when a genealogy is telescoped, the number of names is reduced to an aesthetically pleasing number, usually a multiple of either 7 or 10 and less important names are omitted until that number is reached.
		Those holding to the view that the Genesis genealogies must be complete (or very nearly complete) may be tempted to look to the early church leaders in order to garner support for their view.

		The SCS is a body of like-minded Christian men and women who aspire to the highest standards of theological investigation and moral behavior.
		John S.: Third, the distinct way in which the relationship between parent and child is related in Genesis 4:25-26 and 10:25 further suggests that Seth was the actual son of Adam (Gen. 5:3); Enos was the son of Seth, and Peleg and Joktan were the sons of Eber.

		Many presume that their interpretations of Genesis give complete answers to this question, and often find themselves at odds with historical records and what can be inferred from scientific observations.

		Genesis 2:4 starts a new thought - not in conflict nor in contrast to the previous thought, but rather a separate idea which would bring out a different aspect of God's character.

		Another museum display did allude to time: "If the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 are taken literally, the Creation must have been relatively recent, about 6000 to 10,000 years ago.
		By making the assumption that the genealogies of Genesis are accurate indicators of real time, the ICR is forced to explain many geologic features as having occurred during the Flood or shortly after the Flood: "Although the main Flood effects were produced in one year, the after-effects continued for centuries.
		While there is abundant evidence of a regional flood which may account for the story of the flood of Noah, there is no geologic support for worldwide flood 6-10,000 years ago.
