A:In most Western countries, the majority of Christians accept the scientific evidence that the world is really billions of years old. However, many Christians in the United States, and probably in Africa, believe that the world is only a few thousand years old, with views ranging from about six thousand to nine thousand or a little more. This is not to say that all Christians in the United States hold this view, but it is probably a majority.

What are the differences between Greeks and Christians?

Some (most?) Greeks are Christians. Greeks are the people of Greece. It is a nationality, like being American or Russian. You can be any religion and Greek. Christians are people who believe in the religion of Christianity. Like most other religions, there are Christians all over the world. You can be any nationality and Christian. There is a Greek Orthodox Church that I think many Greeks belong to and I believe it follows a version of Christianity that split from what is now Roman Catholic tradition. In ancient times, the main religion was what we now think of as Greek mythology. There were also Greeks who became Jews or Christians and there were people from the Middle East lands who had converted to Christianity and went to Greece or Greek-ruled lands and therefore became Greeks.

What best describes how Christians view the Hebrew Bible?

A:The majority of Christians regard the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, as a substantially true record of history, its authors inspired by God. Probably most Christians still believe that Moses wrote the first five books, known to Jews as the Torah and to Christians as the Pentateuch. Some regard the stories of creation as allegories, but do not question their underlying truth. Few would willingly acknowledge significant contradictions or historical errors in the Old Testament, with some Christians believing that the entire Bible is inherently free of error. Most Christians regard the Hebrew Bible as in some way preparing for the life and mission of Jesus, with many believing that it contains actual prophecies ofJesus.
