The earliest periods diagrammed in the timeline represent a fusion
between the two positions. Most scholarly assessments categorize the
early books of the Hebrew Bible as legend. Fundamentalists consider
them
to be real history. The diagrams found here for that period are
something of a compromise: Include the personages, but scale back the
timespans, typically years lived or reigned, so that they better match
other historical records (e.g. those from Egypt). This is done for the
patriarchs and judges. You might call it "modified fundamentalist".
Oh, this changes how I live my life, and what I hold to be important!!
I can't wait until he comes out with the Angles On The Head Of A Pin
