Directory of Old Earth Views Resources

Home > Society > Religion and Spirituality > Christianity > Perspectives > Origins and Creation > Old Earth Views

This category is for sites that promote the view that God created the universe, but that it occurred or began not merely 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, but millions or billions of years ago. Some arguments are based on the evidence for "design" in nature. Other arguments propose a "gap" between verses in Genesis which allow for an old age for the original material of this earth. Others suggest that the days of Genesis were actually long ages of time.
