Creationist cosmologies A 6,000-year-old Universe contradicts the evidence from a range of sciences that the Earth is four and a half billion years old. Old Earth creationists accept that the Earth is old, while (mostly) still holding the events of Genesis 1 to be historical. In the late 19th century, old Earth cosmologies dominated, and few Christian apologists did not accommodate scientific geology and paleontology (the study of fossils) by interpreting vast ages for Earth history within the biblical "days" (day-age creationism) or else separating Genesis into two creations, one "in the beginning" and a second Edenic creation in six days. (It is implausible that the authors of Genesis intended the "creation week" to be understood in this way: the "days" are parts of a week, "evening" and "morning" are emphasised, and in any case the order of events conflicts with science, having trees appearing before marine creatures and the first morning and evening before the sun and moon are created.)
Creationist cosmologies The young Earth creationist website Creation in Genesis dismisses the Big Bang as "entirely fiction", "nothing more than an attempt by men ... to try and explain how they think we might have been created without a Creator."
Creationist cosmologies One of the most common creationist criticisms of the Big Bang concerns the horizon problem and supposed problems with the inflationary theory of the early Universe. Creationists have claimed that dark matter and dark energy are doubtful concepts invented by Big Bang theorists in order to uphold the theory. Creationists also point to the Baryon asymmetry problem, i.e., that the big bang is expected to have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter.
Creationist cosmologies Young Earth creationists interpret the six days as six 24-hour periods; old Earth creationists allow for millions or even billions of years within the "creation week". Both regard the Genesis story as history, rather than the scholarly consensus of "creation myth"; both conflate the creation of the Earth and the Universe, (i.e. they hold that the two are equally old and were created together).
Creationist cosmologies Cosmology is the study of the origin, evolution and ultimate fate of the Universe. Scientific cosmology uses the scientific method, which means forming theories or hypotheses which make specific predictions that can be tested with observations; depending on the outcome of the observations, the theories will be abandoned, revised or extended to accommodate the data. The scientific model of the origin and evolution of our Universe is the Big Bang. The Bang was not like a conventional explosion, in which fragments of a bomb are thrown outwards, but rather was an explosion of space within itself; all the matter and energy of the Universe had been contained in a single point, and at the Bang all of the particles of the embryonic Universe began rushing away from each other. The "bang" occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago, which is thus the age of the Universe.
