Church History Timeline - Under Construction
Biblical history timelines will always be an issue of debate. I for one do not embrace evolution as fact but theory. Some of the Christian faith have embraced a compromise of evolution and their faith in the forms of Gap Theory, Theistic Evolution, Day-Age Theory, and an allegorical interpretation of scripture. I believe that Christ died for humankind because humankind was affected by Adam's disobedience. Else, Christ did not die for what the scripture states. However, disbelieving evolution is not a requirement for being a Christian. Please do attempt to not be distracted by the BC dates as you read through the full timeline. - Jeremy Brown
Before time - Heaven, the 4 beasts, and angels are created.
Following, there are phenomena that account for a difference between actual years and atomic years.

God stretched out the universe from a central point. This lends to the possibility of a static universe rather than an expanding universe. The fact that stars and other bodies were moved from a central location accounts for why we see distant celestial bodies in the night sky, relating to a big bang cosmology but not as such. The process would make it appear that the universe is expanding. Archaeozoic Era and Stone Age begin. Adam(1st Melchizedek (king/priest/prophet), Alorus) is created.

Timeline of Islamic History - Wikipedia - Events like The Crusades, incited by Roman Catholicism and Catholic Europe, were as bad and in many cases much worse than Muslem conquerings. In The Crusades, Europeans killed Muslem, Jew, women, and children in their so called holy quest to free Jerusalem. It was more about obtaining wealth than freeing the Jews. However, don't allow my presented information on wrathful and violent groups to inspire hatred in yourselves. The actions of some do not label the whole.

Note: There is a theorem that describes a process in where originally, light traveled much much faster than it does now. This is a lengthy and complicated theory concerning altered time dilation of which I personally prescribe. This is why I have included compilations of dynamic years and atomic eras. Further research may be found in Atomic Constants: Light and Time, Exploring The Vacuum, and The Redshift and the Zero Point Energy.
