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]]).
