Young Earth Creationism

Young Earth Creationism is a variant of Creationism but more absurd and unfounded. YEC's believe that everything was created over a period of six normal-length days, but it happened approximately 4004 BCE. Yes, YEC believes that everything in the universe is only six thousand years old. Believe it.

YEC is consedered to be crank-science and junk propaganda by most branches of science, including astronomy, geology, and applied physics, among others. Sort of like the kind of propaganda that Dubya tries to "catapult."

Astronomers have proven that the universe is over fourteen billion years old by using indirect measurement of the age of local globular clusters. They have also deduced from the microwave background radiation.

Geologists have used various aging techniques to determine that there are several rocks and fossils that are over six thousand years old.

Even geneologists and historians question the theory, based on ancient family trees and records of Chinese emperors and Greko-Romans.
