Scientists first make observations that raise a particular question. In order to explain the observed phenomenon, they develop a number of possible explanations, or hypotheses. This is the inductive part of science, observing and constructing plausible arguments for why an event occurred.
As indicated earlier, the Bible does not fix the age of the earth, contrary to the claims of Answers in Genesis. Historically, their claim comes from the work of James Ussher, Bishop in the Church of Ireland, from 1625 to 1656.
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God. It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and God has preserved its absolute power, authority and inspiration, it is our standard of living for every age and every life. There is one God. Man was made in holiness but, by his choice, fell into sin.
