Young Earth creationism facts for kids
Young Earth creationism is a belief that says God made the whole Universe, the Earth, and all living things on Earth in a very short time. This happened between 5,700 and 10,000 years ago. Most people who believe this are Christians and Jews. They think the story of creation in the Genesis in the Bible is completely true.
Young Earth creationists believe that God created the Earth in six days. Each of these days was a normal 24-hour day. They are different from other creationists because they believe the Bible's words about the Earth's age are literally true.
What Scientists Say
Many scientists agree that Young Earth creationism is not supported by scientific evidence. Scientists use experiments and observations to learn about the world. They have found facts that suggest the universe and Earth are much older.
Scientists believe the universe is more than 13 billion years old. They also think the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. These ages are based on many scientific studies and observations.
