[[Flood Geology|Flood geologists]] reject the [[uniformitarian]] assumptions behind the dates derived by secular geologists, so reject these dates (see [[geologic system]]).
[[Young Earth Creationism|Young earth creationist]] scientist state that there are numerous lines of evidence pointing to a young earth and that the old earth [[paradigm]] is errant and has many [[anomaly|anomalies]] (for details please see: [[Geologic system]] and [[Young Earth Creationism]]).
