No, not the newsmagazine! According to James Ussher, Anglican Archbishop
of Armagh, in his *Annals of the Old Testament* (1650)...
'In the beginning God created the Heavens and Earth, which beginning of
time was in that night preceding the XXIII day of October ... in the
year 4004 before the first of our Era, commonly called Christian.'
