=== Long Chronology or Variant Manuscript Tradition ===
Several creationist scholars such as [[Lambert Dolphin]] base their chronologies on the [[Septuagint]] or the [[Samaritan Pentateuch]]. These variant manuscripts add about 1500 years to a chronology constructed from them using the same method as Ussher and others. In this system, therefore, the date of creation (according to the [[:Wikipedia:Byzantine calendar|Byzantine calendar]]) is given as [[:Wikipedia: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).
