The chronology is sometimes associated with young Earth creationism, which holds that the universe was created only a few millennia ago by God as described in the first two chapters of the biblical book of Genesis. Ussher's work fell into disrepute in the 19th century.
The universe of the ancient Israelites was made up of a flat disc-shaped Earth floating on water, heaven above, underworld below. [3] Humans inhabited Earth during life and the underworld after death, and the underworld was morally neutral; [4] only in Hellenistic times (after c.330 BC) did Jews begin to adopt the Greek idea that it would be a place of punishment for misdeeds, and that the ...
Dating precisely the beginning of the start of the 12,000th year cosmogony rests solely on the date Zoroaster is estimated to have been born. [42] Since Zoroaster was born himself at the end of the 9th millennium (just before the 9,000th year), the date of creation can be calculated by counting back 8,900–9,000 years.

The history of creationism relates to the history of thought based on the premise that the natural universe had a beginning, and came into being supernaturally. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term creationism in its broad sense covers a wide range of views and interpretations, and was not in common use before the late 19th century.
Close examination of the manuscript, including the different types of paper used, helped scholars construct an approximate timetable for its composition. Apparently Copernicus began by making a few astronomical observations to provide new data to perfect his models. He may have begun writing the book while still engaged in observations.
