Science vs. Religion

 The Bible teaches us that the earth was created over the span of six days. However, we learn from science that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. This is a large discrepancy between what we are taught by the Bible and Prophets and Apostles. 

I have learned something through my study of the gospel and this class. We as humans perceive time differently than what time perception is for Heavenly Father and the creator of the Earth, his son Jesus Christ. We are taught that one day in heaven is 1 thousand years to us, that still does not match up with how old the Earth is estimated to be, but that calculation could be off or was lost in when the Bible was compiled. As we know the Bible is true as long as it's been translated correctly. Many things were left out of the Bible and that's where many plain and precious truth's were lost when King James ordered the Bible be wrote by the scholars he commissioned to write it. Could 1 day really be 1 million years? Possibly, I don't know, but I don't loose sleep over it. 

Another thing we need to remember is that the estimation could be off, these are very intelligent beings that are estimating the age of the Earth, but we all have our faults. The only people that know the true age of the Earth are God and Jesus Christ who was the creator of the Earth.

The only thing truly I know is I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I know that the Earth was created for us by Jesus Christ through the direction of our Heavenly Father and that they gathered matter and made it into the Earth and then created all the things we enjoy today.
