How old is the earth, and what about dinosaurs?
The Short Answer
The Church doesn't teach a specific age for the earth — scripture isn't trying to give a science lecture. Dinosaurs aren't mentioned. Plenty of faithful Latter-day Saint scientists see what we're learning about the universe as evidence of a Creator who's even bigger than we thought.
