I only said it because Jim said: "all the academics that I have read simply insist, point blank, that the ages of the Patriarchs do not make sense, and that a coherent internal timeline of the Patriarchal narratives is impossible."

If that is true, and ALL the ACADEMICS don't understand how the Torah makes any sense in this regard, then it is also true that ALL of those of us (in my experience) who have learned Torah from Chazal DO understand that the Torah makes complete sense - I just didn't know how else to phrase it, to make the distinction between those to whom the Torah makes complete sense, and those to whom the Torah makes no sense (at least this aspect of Torah under present discussion)

...the first paragraph of your post below, stating your
BELIEF in Chazal, is really a non-starter.
