Based on [[geology|geological]] dating methods (which include certain assumptions which are questioned by creation scientists)<ref>For example, see Batten, Don, et. al., [http://www.creationontheweb.com/images/pdfs/cabook/chapter4.pdf The Creation Answers Book, chapter 4], 2007</ref>, secular scientific research dates the formation of the Earth to around 4.5 [[billion]] (4.5 * 10⁹) years ago.<ref>[http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/geotime/age.html USGS, ''Geologic Time: Age of the Earth.''] Accessed April 18, 2007.</ref> According to the [[Big Bang Theory|Big Bang theory]], the [[universe]] began even earlier, about 13.7 billion years ago. <ref>http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/age.html, ''Age of the Universe''</ref>.  As it turns out, given the nature of science and the fallibility of man, who wrote the bible, the geological dating method is much more reliable, and should be remembered as the time of creation.
