Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James Ussher was an Irish bishop who believed that the Earth was created in 4004 B.C., based on his interpretation of the Bible. This is known as the Ussher chronology and has since been proven incorrect through scientific evidence. Ussher's beliefs did not pertain to the correct position of the Earth in the solar system or anticipate Darwin's ideas, and he is not known for any specific classification.
