Old Earth Views
Sites in this category present evidence for creation by a personal Creator without necessarily denying the old age of the earth accepted by the majority of today's scientists.
Most 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.
Inclusion in this category does not necessarily mean a denial of a young-earth view, only the possibility that the earth may be older than young-earth advocates propose.
