Math Genesis needed again...?

The formula for simple interest is\n\nInterest = Principle * rate * time\n\nI = $3500 * 0.08 * (15/12) = $350     in 15 months\n\nSo the future value of the loan would be $3500 + $350 = $3850.\n\nSimple interest is rarely used in society these days. All bank interests are continually compounded.

uhh,,i will have to ask my maths teacher in college,,\nthanx for the superb question,,

That's the trouble with answers that give no explanation. Who can you believe?\n\nSince we go in each direction once, the ORDER of the moves doesn't matter. \n\nDraw a grid. Start at 0,0\n10 North means 0,10 You are due north 10 miles. Then we come back south 6 miles, so we're 4 miles north of where we started. \n4 miles east and then 7 west means we're 3 miles west of the starting point. \n\nDraw a right triangle 4 miles up and then 3 miles to the left of the starting point. We want the hypotenuse of the triangle whose sides are 3 and 4. \nTime for Pythagoras: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \n3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 \n9 + 16 = 25 Take the square root of that for your final distance.

hmmm... maybe you should post this question to science /math sub directory

Genesis was written by men of faith, NOT by men of science. At that time there WERE no men of science.\n\nGet a grip. \n\nThe whole book has only ONE intention. To show that there is only one God, that He is all-powerful and that He created everything. The how of that creation was relatively unimportant to them. They did the best they could with the knowledge and resources they have. Being blamed for it by you is like YOU being blamed for not knowing advanced calculus before you were out of diapers!

I agree with Mike, do your math homework.  Everyone would love to hang around someone who knows how to do math.

Some theologians believe that the creation "days" listed could have spanned eons.  However, this is different from "imaginary numbers," which in mathematics are numbers such as "i" or the sqrt of -1.  \n I know this wasn't a serious question, but you got a serious answer.  :o)\n\nI know I will get pounded for this, but this and other biblical "events" are more like allegorical stories - not to be taken literally.  \nThink metaphors, not written in stone - even the writing in stone bit.

It's a failure of American culture that so many people take Genesis literally. Science teachers can only do so much, you know? And besides, when kids are taught Genesis at like age 1 and then evolution at 15, what are they going to believe? Most likely the thing they've known the longest and is the easiest to understand.

Thank you for the article- it had some interesting insights!\n\nI have long thought that there was something odd in the part of Genesis 2:1 and the phrasing Genesis 1 used. I've been looking for things that explained it and your article did just that.\n\nIt simply makes no sense that the God who sent His people to the wilderness for 40 years would have (or needed to) rush the planet in 6 days, then fake various items to make it seem much older. He does not work that way at any other time, so why then?\n\nI have said for years that when the Bible and science or reality conflict, our understanding of one or the other is flawed- and I think we've really messed up our understanding of the Bible!

is this what you asking  "Noah dies 2006 years after Adam, and the 2060 is that how many years before Christ? and now we are 2006 from Christ. or to simplify things as of this year it been 2006 years since was Christ born.\n\n\nBce insted of bc can also be used and all you have to do is add up the birth dates of the begets starting with Adam and ending noah.

Did a teacher tell you this and now you wonder?  Or is this a mathematical riddle?\n\nIf the former, I don't see the inconsistency.  If the latter, I can't wait for the punchline.

Go back to math class and figure it out!

Next time just type your math equation into Google and it will do the math for you.\n\n15

Yes!!!!!!!!! Email me, and I'll try to shed more light on this. Parabolas are where my genius comes out :)
