DESCRIPTION:Archbishop Ussher's pronouncement that the Earth was created on
  the evening preceding Sunday 23 October 4004 BC has tended to make him a l
 aughingstock. However Ussher's was a serious work of scholarship that began
  a tradition of inquiry into geochronology at Trinity College Dublin that l
 ed directly to the radiometric dating techniques that have now established 
 the Earth's age at 4567 million years. The speakers will examine the man be
 hind the legend\, the great work he left behind\, and his successors at Tri
 nity College – such as Professor John Joly\, the man in the radioactive h
 at.  A copy of Annales Veteris Testamenti (1650) by Ussher will be on displ
 ay.
