Young Earth Creationism | Vibepedia

Young Earth Creationism (YEC) posits that the universe and Earth were created by God in six literal, 24-hour days, as described in the Book of Genesis. This perspective directly challenges mainstream scientific consensus on the age of the Earth (approximately 4.54 billion years) and the evolutionary timeline of life. Adherents often rely on specific biblical chronologies, such as genealogies, to calculate Earth's age, placing it at around 6,000 to 10,000 years old. Key organizations like Answers in Genesis and the Institute for Creation Research actively promote YEC, developing apologetics and educational materials to support their views, often engaging in debates with evolutionary biologists and geologists.
