When do Christians believe the earth began?

Many Christians believe the earth was created somewhere between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago. No one knows for sure, because none of us was there.Answer:Young Earth theory states the Earth is about 6,000 years old. If you add the genealogies of the Bible up, it also come to about 6,000 years.Personally how old the Earth is would be impossible to determine, everything is a theory. I was not there.


Are fossils young compared to the age of the Earth?

The oldest fossils found are considered to be from the late Archean period which ended 2500 million years ago. By contrast, the Earth is believed to be 4500 million years old. So, though both dates are amazingly old, the Earth is definitely older than the fossils.


How does carbon dating prove a young earth?

Carbon-dating can not be used to prove the age of the earth, so it can not be used either to prove a "young earth" nor to support the scientific age of the earth. Carbon-dating is useful for archaeology, where it can date evidence of human artefacts up to fifty thousand years old. Some less less informed "Young Earth" creationists do believe that carbon-dating was used to date the earth. They attempt, unsuccessfully, to undermine the science of carbon-dating in the belief that by doing so they undermine the scientific age of the earth, rather than because they constructively prove their point. The best estimates of the age of the earth have been arrived at by radioactive dating, but not by carbon-dating. Had techniques of radioactive dating not been invented, other known methods of dating the earth would prove that the world is more than a few million years old. Some of these are described in the related question, attached below.

What is Young Earth creationism?

== == Young Earth Creationism is one of two streams into which Creationism can be divided (the other being Old Earth Creationism which also accepts a divine creator, but agrees with mainstream science that the scientific evidence points to the world being immensely old and that species have evolved through the process of evolution). Young Earth Creationism is a world-view that interprets scientific evidence based on a literal or semi-literal reading of the Biblical book of Genesis and thus teaches that the world is only about 6,000 years old. Young Earth Creationists believe that living things were created by God much as we know them today and that the various species have diversified within the genetic pool of their original kind.

What do creationists believe about the origin of species and the earth?

The most famous of these are Hugh Ross and Glenn Morton. Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is 6-10,000 years old and all the proof there is contrary to their opinion is fabricated evidence based on false science. The most famous of these are Michael Behe, Kent Hoving, and Kirk Cameron.
