Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth It is very difficult to
find any common ground between evolutionists and creationists.
In fact, the two groups disagree on just about every subject in
the Universe. But there is one area where they see eye to eye:
the age of the Earth. No, of course they do not agree about how
old the Earth is, but they both agree that if the Earth is young
(with an age measured in thousands of years instead of
billions), then evolution could not have happened. Even though
most science textbooks and journals teach that the Earth is
billions of years old, many scientific findings do not agree. In
fact, there are over 75 different scientific methods for
calculating the age of the Earth, and most of those give an age
of the Earth measured in thousands of years, not billions.
Fighting the Crowd One of the strongest arguments for a young
Earth comes from the field of human population statistics.
According to the records that are available, the human
population on Earth doubles approximately ev
