I recall the date of creation being on a panel of quotations (some scientific, others not really) about earth's history, and the good prelate worked it out to a Saturday in October.

I accept that. God in His wisdom clearly recognized that his Saturday was nothing without college football.

In the seventeenth century, Archbishop James Ussher determined that the date of creation was 4004 B.C. In 1996, I suggested that we hold a 6000th birthday party for the Earth. No one seemed interested.

Remembered the name after I posted. It was a Saturday in October, per the Aquarium.

Had I been here at the time, I'd have signed on.
