Nature says the rock is billions of years old, but the book says different, so even though men wrote the book, and God made the rock and God gave us minds that have found ways to tell how old it is, we still choose to believe the Scripture.

Summary

This quote reflects the tension between scientific evidence and religious beliefs. It suggests that although scientific evidence, such as the age of the rock, indicates the passage of billions of years, the speaker chooses to believe in the Scripture's account of creation instead. It implies that personal faith overrides scientific findings, acknowledging that humans authored religious texts while also emphasizing the belief in a divine origin. Thus, the quote highlights the power of individual faith and the enduring influence of religious teachings despite contradictory empirical evidence.
