I'd love to see the reference that the teacher was talking about when she made that statement.

Here's a couple of verses for more context:
John 10:14-16
"14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. "
My opinion:
Yes, I believe the Bible is God's word, inspired by God and recorded by men. Do I believe it? You betcha! Do I understand it all? Nope. I look forward to a tour and explanation in the future. Hey Lord, can you tell me again how you did that big bang thing?
Should you believe it? I think so, but I will not force it on you. You must make your own decision which is an important part of God's Word in the Bible that sometimes gets overlooked. I won't ever claim to be perfect, or better than you, just forgiven.
I am not personally sure that we are capable of understanding Him in His frame of reference.
A joke for an example:
-----------------
Me: Lord, you are on such a grand scale compared to us, I hear that a million years are but a second to you and a billion dollars would be but a penny.
Lord: Yes, that is true.
Me: Lord, can I have a billion dollars?
Lord: My child, I love you and would love to give you all things. I would love to give you a billion dollars. Just a second.....
