| | * The [[theory of evolution]] is at odds with YEC scientific evidence. They often cite secular scientific sources which agree with them on various points (for further details please see: [[theory of evolution]] and [[creationism]]).<ref>http://creation.com/frequently-asked-questions-faq</ref> However, there is no real accepted scientific evidence that has been found to invalidate the theory of Evolution. Rest assured, that Evolution scientists would never try to hide such evidence since finding it would be career-making. Instead, such evidence, were it to be found, would be cause for revising the theory in light of new evidence. | | * The [[theory of evolution]] is at odds with YEC scientific evidence.

| | * The fact that history only spans a few thousand years evidences a young Earth. If the Earth were millions of years old, then so would civilization. This is obviously not the case as recorded history only spans a few thousand years and our level of technology would be much more advanced. Of course, it could be the case that civilization capable of recording their own history has been around only for a few thousand years even though the Earth is billions of years old. | | * The fact that history only spans a few thousand years evidences a young Earth.
