According to the Christian theology, the universe, the earth and life were only created by God about 7500 years ago. God created the universe, the laws of the universe and life. Yet, according to scientific theories and facts, the age of the universe is around 13.7 billion years, the earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, life started on earth about 2.5 billion years ago and species evolved through natural selection over millions/billions of years. How can one reconcile these apparently irreconcilable differences? Can religion and science ever be reconciled? Some religious people just ignore the scientific evidences of evolution and most scientists reject and deny religious teachings outright. I think it is impossible to ignore the Dinosaur fossils and the associated ages determined by rigorous scientific methods such as carbon dating. I also think science cannot reasonably ignore religion because science still has far too many unanswered questions and has already come to a dead end in many areas, including in physics. Therefore, we start by accepting the scientific theories and evidences and then work to find ways to find religious explanations, which is a new scientific paradigm proposed in this paper. This leads to a new insight: God completed millions/billions years of evolutionary processes in a few literal hours and days! God accelerated the evolutionary processes of biology, fossilization, geology and cosmology. The dinosaur evolved, lived, became extinct and was fossilized within a few literal hours! The interpretation of this leads to new and profound views.

It is shown that, contrary to customary perception, at their very roots, both science and religion are based on certain mere sensations of truth which are not validated, and instead, are accepted upon belief as being in fact true.

Truth is the basis of our existence. Therefore, even in our daily lives we should practice telling the truth. Truth leads to consistency, harmony and peace. Even if things go wrong telling the truth will stop further complications and can ‘undo’ things that went wrong. Telling the truth will even help us to overcome evil practices. If we build a culture of telling the truth people will not do wrong in the first place. However, the reality is that people are more and more lying than telling the truth, at all levels. We are moving towards systems that are based on lies. If we don’t follow truth then there will be no mutual trust and it will be very difficult or impossible to do anything at all. Wherever truth is suppressed, there will be considerable inefficiencies and disharmony. Civilization, technological advancement and economic prosperity are only secondary to truth or these will not advance where truth is suppressed. Where truth is suppressed there will not be peace. There is a prophesy that tells us the time will come when it will be impossible to find someone who tells the truth1 and as we are living in the final days of our world that prophesy seems to start to apply to our time. Celebrating the Day of Truth helps us at least to remind us about truth. It may also help us to build a culture of truth if we understand the problem and practice following truth seriously.
