== Young earth creation scientists view ==
[[Young earth creationist]] scientists believe that the [[Theory of evolution|evolutionary]] [[Geology|geological]] timescale is errant, has scores of [[anomaly|anomalies]], and that there are numerous lines of evidence pointing to a young earth (for details please see: [[Geologic system]] and [[Young Earth Creationism]]).
