The idea of a '''Young Earth''' states that, based on [[Bible|biblical]] timelines and [[genealogy|genealogies]], the [[Earth|planet]] on which we live is roughly between 6,000 and 10,000 years old. This is in opposition to the view held by most mainstream [[scientist]]s that the Earth is on the order of roughly 4.5 billion years old. Unlike the old earth theory, the young earth theory does not assume constancy. Rather, it accounts for unusual events (such as a [[global flood]]).

==Controversy==
The general claims against this theory include:
*Fossils and geological objects are declared based on "[[carbon dating]]" much older than the 10,000 years
*Assuming constancy, geological records indecate landforms such as mountains and rivers formed over a much longer period of time than 10,000 years
*Human artifacts such as the Lascaux cave paintings and France seem to surpass this age barrier by up to twenty thousand years
