A Geologic Timescale For Creationists

Creationism, or the set of beliefs claiming that the universe, Earth, and all of its inhabitants were created by a deity less than 10,000 years ago (the “young earth” variety), is scientifically untenable. We have no evidence to suggest that the Earth is so young, or that organisms have persisted in their present form since time’s beginning.

It is interesting then, to take the creationist position and compare it to the scientific one, to see just how divergent the conclusions are. Granted, the creationist position does not accept the timeline proposed by geology, biology, and archaeology, substituting a more “pop into existence” approach. But what if the Earth were only 6,000 years old? How would it’s history scale down?
