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.
Thanks brother. I pray this article does not become a stumbling block for Christians as my intent was to say that the Bible is not a book about the heavens but about how to get there and that the age of the earth is a non-essential issue but eternal life in Christ is. Thank you friend.
