Young Earth

The idea of a Young Earth states that, based on biblical timelines and genealogies, the planet on which we live is roughly between 6,000 and 10,000 years old. This is in opposition to the view held by most mainstream scientists that the Earth is on the order of roughly 4.5 billion years old. Unlike the old earth theory, the young earth theory does not assume constancy. Rather, it accounts for unusual events (such as a global flood).
