Best Answer

The best answer I can think of (and undoubtedly the most controversial) is religion. Some religions state that the Earth was created approximately 4000 years ago along with the rest of the universe. I am neither agreeing with or discrediting religions that state this, only pointing out that they contradict what some scientific discoveries (such as the results of carbon dating) have proclaimed.
