![]() I, too, misread it as "4 billion."

![]() The belief in "Young Earth" theory--i.e. that the Earth is only a little more than 2,000 years old--is based upon an addition of all the "begats" in the Book of Genesis: X begat Y; Y begat Z; etc.; and than estimating the length of time for each generation.
But it is my understanding that ancient Near Eastern genealogies are notoriously selective: "X begat Y" may mean only that X was the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather of Y.
