Where do people get the idea that the earth is less than 10,000 years old?

The OP would like to know where people get the idea that the earth is less than 10,000 years old. UrbanRedneck: I’m guessing that you accept the existence of pre-historic dinosaurs, have attended church on occasion, and have attempted to square those circles. Is that accurate? Like I said, the only anti-evolution propaganda I’ve come across is by Jack Chick, historical depictions and the internet. Never heard it when I attended church.

I attend church quite alot really and have studied this issue to. Look, I’m not going to argue evolutionary biology since its not my area. The OP was interested in views of a supposed “10,000 year old earth” and I presented mine. Agree or not. I feel there have been alot of things that happened in the past and until the day they invent time travel it will still be a matter of guesswork. Both sides are trying as you say to “square the circles” meaning fit what they see into their personal beliefs.

Quite frankly though, I cannot see how anyone can study biology and the complex systems out there (our eyes and ears for example) and think that evolution alone was the answer.
