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.


What is it that suggests that earth is young while proposes that earth is old?

Arguments suggesting a young Earth often cite the relatively short half-lives of certain isotopes, the presence of soft tissues in dinosaur fossils, and the depletion of certain natural resources. In contrast, evidence for an old Earth is supported by radiometric dating methods, geological strata that indicate millions of years of formation, and the observed rate of sediment deposition. Additionally, the fossil record and the theory of plate tectonics provide further context for the long history of Earth's development. Together, these contrasting perspectives highlight the ongoing debate between young-Earth creationist views and mainstream scientific understanding of Earth's age.


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.

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?

Creationists believe that the origin of species is "God created all the different animals and races of humans in their separate areas and and they have never changed." The most famous ones are Michael Behe, Kent Hovind, and Kirk Cameron Old Earth Creationists believe that the world is as old as the scientists say but nothing was on the planet until about 10,000 years ago (the difference between them and the Young Earth Creationists is that these people believe that the word "day" in Genesis doesn't mean 24 hours but a much longer period of time. 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. Geocentrist Creationists believe that the world is the centre of the solar system or the universe (depending on the one that is asked). The most famous of these are Nephilimfree and ShockofGod. Flat Earth Creationists believe that the world is flat. The most famous of these are Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham and Tom Bishop.

Can Christians be evolutionists why or why not?

Yes. "Evolutionists" believe that life slowly evolves over time from generation to generation through mutations and natural selection. The basic beliefs of Christians are that Jesus is the divine son of God, and that he sacrificed himself to save people from their sins. These beliefs do not contradict one another. Not all Christians have such a literal interpretation of the story of creation in the Bible. Some view many of the stories of the Old Testament to be metaphorical rather than factual accounts. A basic belief of Christianity is that God created the heavens and the earth. God created man not a monkey that evolved into a man. A Christian couldn't be an evolutionist ie believe in the theory of evolution.
