I got 29683 bce
Use 365.25 days per year.
...actually, if you want to get more specific, a day is 23h56m4s long, so that would make a difference.

yeah, mid to late september of that year...not including leap years, calendar readjustments (i think there have been two), and the mess which was the change from bce to ad. And rounding days, years, etc.

Of course, you could just play the young earth card and claim that your religion tells you the earth is only 6000 years old, so the question is nonesense. :cool:

Correct answer. :p

Well it does now, so an answer using the calendar of the day would be a perfectly good answer, we use years to determine the age of the earth. Same idea.

Converting 1 trillion seconds to years I get 31,709.79 years. 2005 minus 31,709.79 = - 29704.79 = 29704.79 B.C. (B.C.E. for you P.C.) I have no idea how to figure out the month, day, that makes my brain explode.
