I heard a story from the Bible, where God was explaining to a shepherd boy what one day was to him. The boy would count the sheep that passed him by moving one small stone from one pill to another. When he had 10 small stones, he would replace them with a larger stone.
Then God explain that one day to him was equivalent to that process times 3 of human days (1,000 ).
I don't think i got that exactly right, but I'm sure you get the idea. A day in God's eyes is not the same as a day for us. So, both science and the Bible could be right.
Now, another note: The Bible, although it may have come directly from God, was written by men, who are not perfect. They may have put various ideas or prejudices into the book that God did not mean. So, if you take the Bible as The Word, you're going to be accepting those prejudices.
Accepting the general feel of the Bible, and interpreting it with the help of a theologian, will allow you to truly see what God meant.
All that said, I am NOT a Christian, and I don't believe in the Bible. However, I'm not ready to say that it's all a bunch of crap, either. I'm fully and unapolagetically agnostic.
