The '''Holocene''' is the geologic period we now live in. It covers the last 12,000 years and all of human civilization (although not all of humanity). It covers the Neolithic to the Information Age, and was preceded by the [[Pleistocene]] epoch.
==The Ages of the Holocene==
==The Ages of the Holocene==
*[[Neolithic]] - The New Stone Age. This is theorized to cover the advent of agriculture to the use of bronze weapons. Roughly 12,000 years ago to 4,000 years ago. However, [[Young Earth Creationism|Young Earth Creation scientists]] believe that the age of the Earth is far less than what is believed by evolutionists. Therefore, they consider the Holocene as covering the period from the creation of the Earth until 4000 years ago.

*[[Bronze Age]] - The Use of Bronze to make tools and weapons. 4,000 years ago to 2,500 years ago.
*[[Bronze Age]] - The Use of Bronze to make tools and weapons. 4,000 years ago to 2,500 years ago.
*[[Iron Age]] - This age is concurrent with classical Greece and Rome. It is during this age that Christianity first came onto the scene.

*[[Information Age]] - Starting around 1990, the Internet began to be used by more people. Invented in 1969 by the US military, it became more commonly used by civilians during the 1980s and by 1995 the word "Internet" was beginning to enter everyday vocabulary. By 2000, high speed internet was beginning to become available and now billions of people all over the world are connected like never before. This is much to the chagrin of oppressive governments such as China and Colombia where ideas about freedom and social justice are being spread from Western Europe and North America into impoverished and oppressed nations.
