Is Islam older than Christianity and by how many years?

Answer 1

It depends on several factors.

First, according to Islamic theology, Islam has existed since the Creation of the Universe, so under that definition, Islam is necessarily older since Catholicism was developed within the world.

However, if we proceed from a historical basis there is a serious debate on which is older for the following reason: the Unified Church was founded in the First Century C.E., nearly 500 years before Islam was founded. The Unified Church was an umbrella group the would eventually schism in 451, dropping the Monophysites and Miaphysites (such as the Copts, Armenians, and Ethiopians, etc.), and again in 1054, when the Unified Church had the Great Schism which led to independent Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Therefore, Catholicism as a distinctly named church is younger than Islam by around 400 years, but Catholicism traces its origins to the Unified Church which is older than Islam by around 500 years.
