Old Earth theories contrast with Young earth creationism by positing the age of the Earth in the billions of years. A sizeable minority of Americans accept the biblical literalist position that God created the Earth less than 10,000 years ago.

Most Americans are either Old Earth Creationists, believing that God created the Earth billions of years ago - and the various forms of life over the last several hundred million years. Most believers in evolution advocate the same time line, but deny or ignore God's role in the Creation.
