Archbishop Ussher not only did the computation but nailed it down to the day and hour...

"the entrance of the night preceding the 23rd day of October... the year before Christ 4004; that is, around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 BC"

This is the sort of absolute nonsense that arises when you start really believing what your belief system says. Doing so will never work out well. I wonder what will happen in the religious systems that believe mankind is a unique creation when we discover life on other moons or planets.

Hard to say. Back then, the earth was flat and pi was equal to three so time keeping was a very confused process.
