Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 12: Organ of the Priesthood Quorums and the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Associations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, May, 1909We are requested to touch upon a subject that seems to be much misunderstood by many people, including some of the mem bers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, even by persons who might be supposed to have correct information. It has been stated and published that The earth is almost six thou sand years old, and on that theory, some inferences are drawn which are untenable if the premise is incorrect. The question is: are we to understand the assertion as literally true? If so, does not that come in direct opposition with the facts that are looked upon as demonstrated, and with scientific discoveries and ration al teachings? The editor of the Millennial Star does not profess to know the precise age of this earth on which we live, but is prepared to state most emphatically that its age is very far in ad vance of that which is implied in the assertion that has given rise to these remarks.In times past a large portion of the religious world, following perhaps the chronology of the scriptures given by Archbishop Usher.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
