Different groups have different views on creation.  [[Young Earth creationists]] take the Genesis creation account literally and believe that over six 24-hour days, God separately created each different aspect of creation mentioned ([[Earth]], [[sun]] and [[moon]], plants, etc.).  They also consider the list of [[patriarch]]s in the [[Bible]] to be generally accurate, without missing lists or gaps, and so they consider the earth to be 6000 years old, thus “Young Earth.”
