		Creationism is a belief that the origin of the universe and everything in it is due to an event of creation brought about by the deliberate act of a creator god.
		Old Earth Creationism includes a variety of beliefs, generally distinguished from Young Earth Creationism by adherents' acceptance that the Earth is millions of years old.
		Young Earth Creationism is typically based on Jewish and Christian religious fundamentalism and holds that scientific findings simply conflict with the account of creation given in Genesis, where it is recorded that the Earth was created by God in six days.

	Old Earth creationism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Old Earth creationism is a variant of the creationist view of the origin of the universe and life on Earth.
		Many (Roman Catholics especially) also see a belief in an old Earth as predicated upon the view of Thomism, that the words of the Bible (Special revelation) ought to be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the record of nature (general revelation).
		Old Earth creationists are also often quick to point out that belief in any one interpretation of Genesis should not be considered a foundational issue or requirement for faith in God, as such a position limits a believer's faith to earthly and not spiritual matters.

	Creationism - Theopedia
		Creationism, in its most general form, is the belief that a supernatural intelligence was involved in the creation of the universe and the origin of life.
		The belief that the Earth was created by God a few thousand years ago, literally as described in Creation according to Genesis, within the approximate timeframe of the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar (~6,000 years) or somewhat more according to interpretation of potential gaps in biblical genealogies (~10,000 years).
		Because Young Earth creationists believe in the literal truth of the description in Genesis of divine creation of every "kind" of plant and creature during a week 6,000-10,000 years ago, they dispute the theory of evolution which describes all species developing from a common ancestor over billions of years without a need for divine intervention.

	Creationism
		Since the Old and New Testaments are considered inerrant and teach that the earth is less than 20,000 years old, any evidence that science might present to the contrary must be wrong.
		In short, modern creationism is not the monolithic movement that is often portrayed by critics and the popular press.
		Progressive or “old earth” creationism holds that while God made the universe and continues to act within it, the days of Genesis 1 are not literal, consecutive 24-hour periods.

	Creationism - Gurupedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Day-Age Creationism — the view that the "six days" of Genesis are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather much longer periods (for instance, each "day" could be the equivalent of a million years of modern time).
		Old Earth Creationists do not hold to the wording of either story and claim that the Earth is millions of years old.
		For example, Day-Age Creationism holds that the six days referred to are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather much longer periods (of thousands or millions of years); the Genesis account is then sometimes interpreted as an account of the process of evolution.

	Howstuffworks "Types of Creationism: Old-Earth"
		Progressive creationism is the most common form of creationism in the United States today.
		Theistic evolutionism is also called "evolutionary creationism," but since it does not involve a literal reading of the Bible, and because many theistic evolutionists fall on the side of evolution in the creationism vs. evolution debate, many people view it as separate from creationism.
		Some tenets of creationism are not at all compatible with the findings of modern science, while others allow for a reinterpretation of the Bible in view of what some perceive as scientific proof.

		Genesis 2:7-8 states that Adam was formed as a special act of creation from "the dust of the ground," and the rest of the chapter implies that Adam was created as an adult, not born to almost-but-not-quite-human parents.

		Such great ages for the earth can also be computed from other sources, such as limestone deposits in caves and the buildup of great coral reefs, which are known to form very slowly.
		Creationist computations of the impossibility of chemical evolution are similar to the old computations allegedly showing that steamships could never carry enough fuel to cross the Atlantic Ocean and the well-known aerodynamic computations showing that it is mathematically impossible for bumblebees to fly.
		Neanderthals, which lived on earth about 100,000 years ago, had a still larger cranium, though their skull structure (with characteristically prominent brow and large jaw) was distinctly primitive.

	Young earth creationism - CreationWiki
		The young Earth creationism perspective is the result of a plain reading of the description of the early earth in the Bible, and the Islamic Qur'an, which both contain nearly parallel accounts of a six-day creation, Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, and Noah's flood.
		Integral aspects of the Young Earth Creationist position include creation in six days (encompassing everything from the beginning of the universe to the appearance of man), and the global flood of Noah's time (as the fossil-bearing sediments laid down by the flood account for most of the geological column).
		Assuming this event happened as described the young earth creationism perspectives holds that the fossil record is the result of this flood.

	Stephen E. Jones: Problems of Young Earth Creationism (YEC)
		The fact is, however, that the question of the age of the earth and the universe, while an important question in its own right, is quite independent of the question of creation or evolution, at least as far as the facts of science are concerned.
		For evolutionists to concentrate their criticisms of creationism mostly on this independent issue is merely an admission of the weakness of evolutionism.
		While it is true that evolution demands an immensity of time, and thus any evidence for a young age for the earth or the cosmos would be fatal to evolution theory, evidence that the earth is old would neither prove evolution nor threaten creation.

		Advocates of an old earth hold that the six days referred to are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather the Hebrew word for "day" (yom) can be interpreted in this context to mean a long period of time (thousands or millions of years) rather than a 24-hour day.
		Agreeing with the theory that the earth is in deed billions of years old without proof is no simple task.

		The only thing that Christian Creationism (which ISN'T science, by the way) is affirm the scientism worldview that says the only thing that is true is scientific data.
		It is giving that worldview the power in the first place to try to come up with evidence for a young earth (or any creation theory, for that matter).
		And believing in old earth creation does NOT make one a theistic evolutionist (as far as I know I didn't say I was one, please don't assume that I believe in evolution).

		* The Old earth creationism (OEC) perspective accepts the secular scientific community's assessment of the age of the earth and universe, and assumes the creation periods were undefined lengths of time or there were large gaps of history in Genesis"
