The discipline of [[uniformitarianism]] is also a basis for assuming an old Earth. Extrapolating the rate of geologic processes backwards in time yields an Earth substantially older than the Biblical 6,000 years. Uniformitarianism is also based on assumptions, however; namely, that all geologic processes were acting at the same or similar rates for the whole history of the Earth.

Theories of an Old Earth frequently rely on the assumption that physical laws, such as rates of decay, have forever been constant. This assumption is believed to be false by Young Earth Creationists.
