Many people doubt a new earth creation theory, many people doubt a literal 6 day creation, as it doesn't seem to square with modern science. However, many faithful Christians, even 2nd & 3rd century Church Fathers believed in an old earth and a metaphorical six days. Even if we were one day able to definitively prove that that the earth is more than 6000 years old and that creation didn't happen in a literal 6 day period, that does nothing to disprove Scripture.

Why the Creation account is so significant to the Christian worldview?

The notion that God created the world as described in the Book of Genesis is fundamental to belief that God exists and that The Bible is literally true.Theologians have long argued that the very proof of God's existence is the world around us. If God did not create the world, one of the pillars of belief has been removed.If God created the world, but in a different way than described in the Bible, then an important story in the Bible is not literally true and who knows what other stories in the Bible are not true either. It is the thin end of the wedge to accept that the Genesis account of creation is not how the world really originated, and this will only lead to doubts and loss of faith.Since there are actually two, quite different, creation stories in Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a and 2:4b-25), it is also necessary to believe both stories as if there were no contradiction. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the second creation story departs from the first not only in content but also in tone, mood and orientation, yet pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman) that the first story simply reported. He goes on to say that to understand Genesis we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
