This meant retaining items which reflect Usshers views on eschatology, in particular about Daniels 70 sevens. AiG neither endorses nor opposes any such views, outside of affirming our statement of faith (see www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/about/faith.asp), which states: (C) 9. Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, ascended to Heaven, is currently seated at the right hand of God the Father, and shall return in like manner to this Earth as Judge of the living and the dead.
