According to linguistic analysis, the account in Genesis indicates that
Abraham, if he lived, lived in the 19th century BC, not 14th century BC. But
the more we show it, the more Jim Stinehart digs in his heels with
statements as the above. Jim treats Genesis like a myth, then claims that he
is verifying its historicity. If that doesn’t make logical sense to you, it
doesn’t to me either.
