Q. What is the age of creation?
A. The Western people according to the Bible believe that creation is only 6,000 years old. But with the scientific discoveries and the unearthing of some ancient relics, people have started to believe that man lived in this world quite a few million years before. The date of creation, according to orthodox Hindu view, is much more ancient. The question still remains open, for something may in future throw some more light on this matter.
