Dating the time of Abraham has become a controversial issue among Bible believers. The stories in the Bible happened, but dating when they happened has been based on a modern interpretation of the ancient peoples' ways of using numbers and speaking about time. Dating the destruction of Sodom is important because it pins Abraham to a specific point in time, from which a lot of events in the Bible can be correctly placed in history. Dr. Collins talks about the date of airburst impact that destroyed Tall el-Hammam, the dating of the pottery from the site and he begins a two part explanation of how ancient people used a very different way of keeping track of time.
