Question:
How could God have made the earth in 6 days if the birth of a planet takes millions of years? Also it says in the Bible that God made animals and then a couple of days later made man. How could that be so if there are some animals that existed millions of years before man was around?
Answer:
The Bible is true, but man’s “science” is not always so. I Timothy 6:20,21 says, “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and OPPOSITIONS OF SCIENCE FALSELY SO CALLED: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.”
God did create the heavens and the earth in 6 days, and He rested on the seventh day. Exodus 20:11 says, “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day.”
According to the Bible, the earth is only about 6,000 years old. True science always backs up that fact. Examples like how thick the dust was on the moon when man landed there; how far the sun is away from the earth compared to the rate at which it is shrinking, etc., all back up a universe about 6,000 years old — not millions of years.
Believe the Bible — it will never be proven wrong.
