According to 17th century biblical scholar James Ussher, today is the anniversary of God's creation of the universe. By piecing together a chronology of biblical events, Ussher calculated that creation began on the evening of October 23rd, 4004 BC. If nothing else, take a few moments on this special day to contemplate all we've accomplished in the roughly 6,000 years since. Our uncanny ability to cram millions of years of evolution into such a brief span of time is enough cause for celebration, don't you think?
