Many Americans are either [[Young Earth Creationist]]s, or [[Old Earth Creationist]]s, believing that God created the Earth billions of years ago - and the various forms of life over the last several hundred million years or [[evolution]]ists. Evolution advocates support the same time line but don't believe in supernatural intervention.

Evolutionists believe the age of the Earth is over 4.5 billion years old which is a common viewpoint for Old Earth Creationists as well, although it is also common for Old Earth Creationists to believe in much shorter times - but still longer than could be possible under Young Earth Creationism.
