The earth was created about 5 billions years ago
People disagree about when and how the Earth was created. The three most popular ideas are:
#That God created the Earth several hundred generations ago, as recounted in [[Genesis]]. By adding years and other time indications in the [[Old Testament]] chronologies, one can calculate the age of the Earth as approximately 6,000 years (see [[Date of creation]] and [[Young Earth Creationism]]).
#That God created the Earth billions of years ago (see [[Old Earth Creationism]] and [[Theistic Evolution]]).
#That the Earth came into existence billions of years ago, but entirely through natural processes and without any intervention by God
Clashes between adherents of these ideas have gone on since time immemorial (see [[origins debate]]), though the last theory has only been fully developed in the last 200 years.
