Old Earth Creationism is the belief that God created the universe and the world billions of years ago. Old Earth Creationists do not all agree on the extent of the Noachian flood, although many maintain that it was a local flood.
General
Old Earth Creationists hold to view of the Biblical book of Genesis that allows for an old earth [1]. Dr. Norman Geisler wrote that "both young- and old-earthers who are evangelical hold to the historicity of the Genesis account: They believe that Adam and Eve were literal people, the progenitors of the entire human race." Dr. Geisler also wrote concerning young earth creationist and old earth creationist the following: "Both groups are also agreed in their opposition to naturalism, which they see as the philosophical presupposition of evolution."

Proponents of Old Earth Creationism include Hugh Ross, David Snoke, Greg Neyman, Francis Schaeffer, and Norman Geisler. [4]
