from wikipedia

Quote:

his most famous work was the Annales veteris testamenti, a prima mundi origine deducti ("Annals of the Old Testament, deduced from the first origins of the world"), published in 1650. In this work, he claimed, infamously, that the earth was created on the evening preceding October 23, 4004 BC. This work established what has become known as the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar

also

Quote:

Ussher engaged in extensive debate with Catholic theologians, and pressed for firm measures to be taken against Irish Catholics

for someone who entered college at 13 he was a bit ....thick.

2nd oldest society in college smarty pants?

DrIndy · 15-05-2005, 17:53

phil/hist

depending on which one you are from.........

DrIndy · 15-05-2005, 17:53

What really cool guy qualified in medicine in 2005?

Kevin_rc_ie · 15-05-2005, 17:55

it's neither the hist or the phil.

My original question was which society is oldest excluding the hist and phil.

I think the Phil was made, then the one I'm talking about, then the Hist. Could be wrong.
