Blogust & Everything After

I'm taking cultural anthropology and the teacher/textbook refer to the earth being millions of years old. I grew up in the Christian scene and as far as I know according to the Bible the world isn't that old......or maybe it is...I'm not enough of a Biblical scholar to know the right answer. I'm gonna ask around and find out what the general Bible consensus is on the age of the earth and it's peoples. It does sort of bug me when we talk about it in class so I need to find the truth......"the truth is out there" (x-files)
