 === Long Chronology or Variant Manuscript Tradition ===
-Several creationist scholars such as Lambert Dolphin base their chronologies on the [[Septuagint]] or the Samaritan Text of the Old Testament. These variant manuscripts add about 1500 years to the age of the world if a chronology is constructed from them using the same method as Ussher and others. In this system therefore, the date of creation (according to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_calendar Byzantine calendar]) is given as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dating_Creation#According_to_the_Book_of_Genesis September 1 5508 BC], giving the second dominant Biblical date for creation (i.e. circa 4000 BC and 5500 BC).
