Great scientists of the past such as Newton and Keppler were often strongly religious and calculated dates that were not very different from the well known 4004 BC date provided by Ussher. Those who hold to a 6000 year age of the earth do so firstly because they believe The Bible to be the only truly reliable record about the past -given to us by a God who was there and who knows what happened. They also recognize that since the world is open to scientific inquiry, evidence can and has indeed been uncovered which puts the earth much more reasonably into the 6000 year age group.

It is also true to say that while many people believe the world to be 4.6 billion years old, this is not known, since there are many problems with dating methods -including not just the three unprovable assumptions on which they rest, but the notable fact that when the dates for rocks which supposedly are absolute age indicators do not agree with what the geologist already thinks is the probable date of the rocks, they are either discarded or explained away.

The finding of significant amounts of data which indicate the earth is actually close to 6000 years old can also support this conclusion in purely scientific terms.

HUMAN POPULATION

Creationists point to the current world population growth rate of 1.7% and contrast this with the 0.5% that would be needed to reach our current world population from Noah and his family after the flood 4,500 years ago, with the creation around 1500 years before that. This would thus include great catastrophes such as the post-flood ice-age and the Great Plague or Black Death which killed a large part of the population of Europe in the Middle Ages.

Creationists also point out that this is a great challenge to evolutionists to explain if their theory were true since there should be, with the much longer time periods involved:

1. A vastly larger human population.

2. A much greater quantity of human remains in the earth than are actually found.

3. Evidence for the alleged catastrophes that repeatedly (allegedly) nearly wiped out the entire human population.

Believing none of the evolutionary explanations can be demonstrated scientifically, creationists suggest they have the better explanation for what we actually find.
