		The later dates are based on the Hebrew text of the Torah (the precursor of the Masoretic text), which is still used by all Jews.
		It is not necessarily creation per se, as that word may be seen as implying the existence of a creator, but a singular point in space-time, after which the laws of physics describe the history of the universe.

	creation belief
		The term creation myth is often used for a story with deep explanatory or symbolic resonance for a culture.

		In Hindu philosophy, the existence of the universe is governed by the triumvirate- The Trimurti of Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Sustainer) and Shiva (the Destroyer).

	Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar
		His proposed date of 4004 BC was not greatly different from the estimates of the Venerable Bede (3952 BC) or Ussher’s near-contemporary, Scaliger (3950 BC).
		The close range of dates estimated by scholars such as Ussher was principally due to a common methodology being used to calculate the date of creation.
		The modern date of the equinox is, however, much earlier than Ussher’s date; this was simply due to the inaccuracies introduced by the Julian calendar, which Ussher calculated would add about thirty days to the date of the equinox.

		As the distances in the universe rapidly grew, the temperature dropped, leading to the creation of the known forces of physics, elementary particles, and eventually hydrogen and helium atoms in a process called Big bang nucleosynthesis.
		During the 1970s, observations were made that - assuming that all of the matter within the universe could be seen - created problems for the Big Bang theory, as it seemed to underestimate the amount of deuterium in the universe and lead to a universe that was much more "lumpy" than observed.

	Creation myth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The creation is described as being in need of a man, which YHWH Elohim supplies by fashioning him from dust and breathing life into his nostrils.
		Creation myths can be considered literally (i.e.: the events highlighted occurred as told) or as an allegory (the events did not occur, however, the telling of the tale holds important meanings, such as 'God created the universe and everything in it' for Genesis 1).
		Adherents of these scientific theories respond that unlike the creation myths of earlier cultures, they are subject to verification and refinement by the scientific method, rather than being believed only on grounds of authority and faith.

	Young Earth creationism
		Such a belief is almost invariably held in conjunction with fundamentalist Christian beliefs, in which the first chapters of the biblical book of Genesis are taken to be a literal account of the creation of the universe, in six strictly 24-hour days.
		This differs from Day-Age Creationism which purports that "day" is used in Genesis before the creation of the sun or the earth and the dawn of earthly time.
		The geologic timescale is based on many pieces of evidence, including radiometric dating, the fossil record, dendrochronology (tree rings), ice cores, sediment cores, and coral samples.

	Big Bang (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

		The other was Fred Hoyle's steady state model in which new matter would be created as the galaxies moved away from each other and that the universe at one point in time would look roughly like any other point in time.
		The standard explanation for the second and third is that the universe underwent a period of massive star formation creating large high mass stars and that without heavy elements, forming low mass red dwarf stars is impossible.

	Beliefs in the Earth's age
		Most estimates based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, and in particular the belief that the Hebrew word : "yom" in Genesis refers to a 24 hour day, cluster around 6,000 years :± 2,000 years for both the age of the Earth and of the rest of the universe.
		To compute a probable date of creation from the biblical record, it is necessary to work backwards from a date that is known from the historical record.
		Ussher dated the arrival of Abraham in Canaan to 2126 BCE and the Noahic flood at 2349 BCE.

		I'm not entirely happy with this bit: "Creation of the world, according to a literal interpretation of the genealogy of early mankind given in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible." As far as I can recall, the genealogy alone is not enough to deduce the date of the Creation.
		I'd suggest giving the range of estimates or, if it turns out that the 3761 BC figure is backed by more than just genealogy, placing it there in the wikipedia timeline.
		Dating to the nearest century seems a bit too precise when talking about what was still prehistory.

		It is true that Carbon-14 dates must be calibrated for variations in the amount of 14C produced in the atmosphere; however, the corrections are small (~10%) and affect only recent ages (~50,000 years).
		Rb-Sr and K-Ar dating schemes, commonly used to constrain the chronology of Phanerozoic sediments, have so far proved to be unsuccessful in dating these rocks because of their poor enrichment in radiogenic 87Sr and 40Ar and also because of analytical difficulties.

	Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar was a chronology published in 1650 by Archbishop James Ussher of Armagh which attempted to deduce the date of creation from biblical references and proposed that it had occurred on October 23, 4004 BC at noon.
		It was widely believed that the Earth's potential duration was 6,000 years - 4,000 before the birth of Christ and 2,000 after - corresponding to the six days of creation, on the grounds that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" (2 Peter 3:8).
		The day of the week was a backward calculation from the six days of creation with God resting on the seventh, which in the Jewish tradition is Saturday - hence Creation began on a Sunday.

	HISTORY OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN EVOLUTION AND CREATION SCIENCE
		Creation Science was the prevailing belief system before the rise of geology in the late 18th Century.
		Belief in Usher's date continued among Christian scientists, until the early 18th century, when it became obvious to most researchers that geological processes were exceedingly slow, and must have been accomplished over incredibly long periods of time.
		Thus, the Act is designed either to promote the theory of creation science that embodies a particular religious tenet or to prohibit the teaching of a scientific theory disfavored by certain religious sects.
