| | Young Earth creationism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Young Earth creationism is the belief that the Earth and life on Earth were created by a direct action of God a relatively short time ago. | | | YECs are fundamentally opposed to any explanation for the origins of anything which replaces God as the universal creator as reported in the Bible, whether it be the origins of biological diversity, the origins of life or the origins of the universe itself. | | | YECs believe that life was created by God 'each after their kind' in the universe's first six normal-length (24-hour) days. |

| | Christian Views of Science and Earth History |
| | Young earth creationists believe that the earth and the universe are only tens of thousands of years old and that Genesis gives us a straightforward account of God's creative activity. | | | Young earth creationists also maintain the integrity of what is called the Genesis kind, defined in Genesis 1:11, 12, and 21. | | | The young earth creationist firmly maintains that Genesis chapter one is a literal, historical document that briefly outlines God's creative activity during six literal twenty-four hour days. |

| | YEC) claim a literal interpretation of the Bible as a basis for their beliefs. | | | Old-Earth Creationists accept the evidence for an ancient earth but still believe that life was specially created by God, and they still base their beliefs on the Bible. | | | This view says that there was a long temporal gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, with God recreating the world in 6 days after the gap. |

| | Rapid Post-Flood Speciation: A Critique of the Young-Earth Model |
| | Creationists disagree on the extent of Noah's Flood. | | | Young-earth creationists who recognize the problem of fitting all the land animals on the ark now conclude Noah only took pairs of the Genesis "kinds." These, they say, were the ancestral seeds God provided to repopulate the world. | | | Young-earth creationists maintain the Bible does not teach that God created all the species we have today, just as they are today. |

| | Attempt to dialog with creation scientists |
| | Young earth belief: Many, perhaps most, Christian Creationists are "young earth creationists" who view the Earth and the rest of the universe as less than 10,000 years old. | | | Many "Old earth creationists" believe that God inspired the authors of the Bible to write text that is inerrant -- free of error. | | | However, he attempts to write essays on both evolution, creation science, and the age of the earth in a balanced manner, explaining the beliefs and the bases for those beliefs of both creation scientists and supporters of evolution. |

| | Gravity versus the Young-Earth Creationists - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum |
| | Young-earth creationists not only claim that the Earth is less then ten thousand years old, they almost always claim that the universe is itself under ten thousand years old as well. | | | The reason for this is clear if one literally reads the first account of creation that starts the Book of Genesis which indicates that the Sun and Moon were created on the fourth day while grass, herbs, trees, and dry land were created on the third day. | | | Better that Creationists believe that God intended the universe to appear old, because then they could not logically object to teaching science to our children. |

| | Young Earth creationist arguments for a young universe and a young Earth are terrible to say the least. | | | Trying to alter young Earth creationist thinking on these issues may be a stupid thing for me to do though, human nature being what it is many Christians will hate me for telling them that the arguments and the people they've believed in are wrong. | | | This situation is especially bad for young people because once you find out your elders have been lying you realize you can't believe anything they say, not even the part about there is a God who loves them. |

| | For example, Catholics outnumber Young Earth Creationists by a large factor, and the Catholic Church has no objection to either Big Bang cosmology or evolutionary biology, which they regard as the mechanisms used by God to create the Universe and the living things within it. | | | Hence apologists for Biblical literalism have made detailed justifications based on the original language for the phrase that just serve to weaken the idea that the Bible, whether in the original or especially in translation, should be taken literally. | | | In this article a minor part of my remarks to Glanz are quoted, regarding a misguided attempt to use General Relativity to explain the discrepancy between the 12 billion year age of the Universe and the Young Earth Creationists' 6000 year age for the Earth. |

| | For years, they have been told by young-earth creationists that they are wrong, and thus have been alienated from the church. | | | If you correctly recognize that both forms of creationist belief are acceptable, and the Bible can correctly be interpreted to support either viewpoint, then this is not mud-slinging, but healthy discussion. | | | On the other hand, if a person is close-minded, and refuses to recognize old-earth belief as a viable alternative to young-earth belief, then they would view this as mud-slinging. |

| | How to Evaluate Young-Earth Creationist Literature |
| | As a Christian in the sciences, I have read many articles and books written by young-earth creationists (those Christians who believe in a divinely-created Earth in six 24-hour days some 6,000 years ago) and have been deeply disturbed by what I perceive to be extremely poor-quality (and sometimes outright deceptive) arguments presented by fellow Christians. | | | The following are some questions to keep in mind when evaluating books or articles written by young-earth creationists... | | | If true, this certainly seems damaging to the idea of an old earth. |
