Evolutionists think the world is 4.5 billion years old.

Creationists think the world is 6000 years old.

A creationist is someone who believes in The Bible, including its purported age of our Earth.

William Jennings Bryan, for example, believed in the Bible, but, during the Scopes Trial, VERY explicitly stated his belief that the world was "far older" than 6000 years. He also explicitly denied a belief in an Earth created in six, 24-hour days. CS Lewis held similar views.

An evolutionist is someone who. like Bryan or Lewis, doesn't believe in such an age for our Earth.

Personally, I agree with creationists.

13.8 billion years. Note that this is the time from the Big Bang - nobody really knows what happened before that.

What do scientist assume about the universe?

The way the universe works now is the same as how it did in the past, as well as how it will work in the future, which is unverifiable and therefore must be assumed. Some examples: - Scientists assume that there is no way to secure complete and absolute truth - Secular scientists assume that the earth and universe were not created supernaturally. - Scientists assume that natural laws we identify will apply to all of the universe - Scientists assume that they all work towards the common good - Scientists assume life can evolve on earth in the presence of water - Most scientists assume near-death experiences and out-of- body experiences are a result of a lack of oxygen in the brain


According to scientists mammals made their first appearance during what period of the Mesozoic era?

By using enzymes scientists can remove and substitute sections of 'quarks' or 'DNA'?

Quarks are fundamental particles of the universe and cannot be subdivided (according to current knowledge). Enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions and there are no reactions that can 'remove sections' of quarks, which are basically indivisible. If you know about restriction endonucleases and DNA ligases, you'll know that these enzymes can cut and ligate together different pieces of DNA.
