I AM, God is light: by which we know that there is no conflict between Creation and the fossil records

"...God is light and in Him is no darkness at all." Does God exist? Does He exist only in our minds, having been manufactured by man, in a storytelling moment, to satisfy a child's curiosity about how the universe came about? Or does God, Omnipotent, truly exist, having made man and the universe? Are the words, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," true? If God is real and the Bible states that He created the universe in six days, then how do you explain the earth being 4.5 billion years old or the presence of fossils showing evidence of life on earth as far back as 500 million years ago? Is the Genesis account of creation correct or are your school textbooks correct? Did God create the universe in six days or is the earth 4.5 billion years old?" The answer lies in the words, "God is light."
