The Universe is believed to be about 14 billion years old, whilst our Solar system is only about 4.5 billion years old. Our Solar system is sometimes called a '3rd generation system' as it results from several episodes of stellar accretion and destruction, each one generating more sophisticated elements. [But our Sun, being small, can only generate elements up to iron, because the Sun's size and temperature allow no further nucleosynthesis, (as it is called).]

According to the law of uniformitarianism is the earth old or young?
No one knows the actual age of the earth from its organization to the present day.

As an example, a potter will make a bowl out of clay in say 2011, but the material he uses to make the bowl is very much older and may date back thousands of years.

Compare and contrast young and old creationism?
Young Earth creationism asserts that the earth and universe were created by God in a literal six days about 6,000-10,000 years ago, as described in the Bible, whereas Old Earth creationism accommodates scientific dating methods and allows for a much older age of the earth and universe, but still believes in a divine creator. Both views seek to reconcile scientific and religious beliefs, but differ in their interpretations of the age of the earth and universe.
