Crystal (1993, 19) dates earliest marine life and fossils to the Precambrian
Riphean period. This period had stretched from 1.6 Gyr ago to 0.65 Gyr ago,
with mid-value of 1.125 Gyr ago.

Given these sources, and assuming that Genesis story, relating to the fifth day,

rightly depicts first signs of life as originating in water, we assign for the origin-
of-life dating (averaging 1.2 and 1.0 Gyr, from the first source quoted above, and

consistent with Crystal, 1993):
Y 5 = 13.7 – 1.1 = 12.6 Gyr

Biblical Value (X5)

Ignoring the mysterious and unexplainable description for the creation of life
on the third day (before the sun was “made”), Genesis story of life on Earth is
depicted succinctly as originating on the fifth day: “And God said, “Let the water

teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the Earth across the expanse of

the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving
thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird
according to its kind. And God saw that it was good … And there was evening
and there was morning—the fifth day” (Gen. 1:20-21, 23). Accordingly:

X 5 = 5 day

22.3.6 Creation of Mankind

Cosmologic Value (Y6)
How old is the human race? Controversy exists and is ongoing. It is difficult to

pinpoint time reference for the first appearance of humans on the surface of Earth,
not least because scientists are divided on what constitutes a species that can be
defined human. Since there is no controversy that the “age” of currently existing

human species is measurable in hundreds of thousands of years (not in millions of
years), high precision is not essential to estimate Y 6.
As reported in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, “Anatomically modern
humans—Homo sapiens—are believed to have originated somewhere around
200,000 years ago or earlier in Africa;” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_
Earth; Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human).
Other sources roughly corroborate this estimate for the age of Homo sapiens.
Therefore:

Y 6 = 13.7 – 200,000(10 ) = 13.6998 Gyr
