The Bible does not start in 4000 B.C. Some Bibles suggest that God created the world in 4004 B.C. based on the work of Archbishop Ussher, who based that date on the reported ages of the various ancestors of Jesus of Nazareth. However, those ages are merely figurative and were never intended to be taken literally. Obviously, the world has been around much more than 6,000 years!
