Editing Dating creation (section)

===Masoretic===
After the [[Masoretic Text]] was published, however, dating creation around 4000 BC became common, and was received with wide support.<ref>''A Collation of the Sacred Scriptures'', Charles Roger Dundee, 1847, pp. 10-24.</ref> Proposed calculations of the date of creation using the Masoretic from the 10th century to the 18th century include: [[Marianus Scotus]] (4192 BC), [[Henry Fynes Clinton]] (4138 BC), [[Henri Spondanus]] (4051 BC), [[Benedict Pereira]] (4021 BC), [[Louis Cappel]] (4005 BC), [[James Ussher]] (4004 BC), [[Augustin Calmet]] (4002 BC), [[Isaac Newton]] (3998 BC){{Citation needed|reason=The Jones citation does not show that Newton proposed this date|date=October 2017}}, [[Petavius]] (3984 BC), [[Theodore Bibliander]] (3980 BC), [[Johannes Kepler]] (April 27, 3977 BC) [based on his book ''[[Mysterium Cosmographicum]]''], [[Heinrich Bünting]] (3967 BC), [[Christen Sørensen Longomontanus]] (3966 BC), [[Melanchthon]] (3964 BC), [[Martin Luther]] (3961 BC), [[Cornelius Cornelii a Lapide]] (3961 BC), [[John Lightfoot]] (3960 BC), [[Joseph Justus Scaliger]] (3949 BC), [[Christoph Helvig]] (3947 BC), [[Gerardus Mercator]] (3928 BC), [[Matthieu Brouard]] (3927 BC), [[Benito Arias Montano]] (3849 BC), [[Andreas Helwig]] (3836 BC).<ref name=Jones26 />

Among the Masoretic creation estimates or calculations for the date of creation only the Archbishop [[Ussher chronology]] dates the creation to 4004 BC and became the most accepted and popular, mainly because this specific date was attached to the [[King James Bible]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/scopes/ussher.html |title=Bishop James Ussher Sets the Date for Creation: October 23, 4004 B.C |publisher=Law2.umkc.edu |access-date=2012-11-30}}</ref>

Polish [[Christmas carol]] ''[[Wśród nocnej ciszy]]'' contains text ''Cztery tysiące lat wyglądany'' (''Looked out for four thousand years'') related to Jesus, which also corresponds to date of creation based on Masoretic Text.<ref>Szczepan Keller ''Zbiór pieśni nabożnych katolickich do użytku kościelnego i domowego'', Pelplin 1871, p. 47.</ref>
