    Reasoning Passage 550212 uses completed narration: Neville heard the Bible story as a child, grew into manhood, and one day experienced it erupt within him, after which he tells the audience what happened. The sequence therefore predates the lecture.

The passage does not support resolving the childhood and eruption stages to a narrower calendar year.
