The Young Earth theory is not so much a theory, in the scientific sense, as a hypothesis. It is held by some creationists who believe that if they interpret The Bible literally then the earth must be only a few thousand years old, usually believed to have been created by God around 4000 BCE.
In contrast, other creationists hold to an Old Earth hypothesis, because they accept that the scientific age of the earth is irrefutable. They see room to interpret the Bible in a way that allows for both divine creation and an immense age for the Earth.

Other than Genesis 1 and John 1?Believing and seeking support for the young earth theory is exciting, especially for those who really explore the question deeply. However, do keep one thing in mind. The young earth theory was originally inspired by scripture; it is not an independent theory that just ordinarily developed out of science. So it is good to realize that when you uncover scriptures that 'back up' the theory, these are not independent truths that can be used as evidence (in the usual sense) that the theory is true. In essence, the scriptures are the theory. This is just an invitation to think and explore deeply and carefully.
