What are the reasons that some Christians believe the Earth is only 10,000 years old?
<|assistant|>
Some Christians believe that the Earth is only 10,000 years old because of their interpretation of Genesis. This belief is known as Young Earth Creationism, and it contends that the world was created in six literal days around 6000 years ago. This view is bolstered by interpretations of certain passages in the Bible, as well as assumptions about the rate of radioactive decay. Others cite genealogies in the Bible to bolster the 10,000 year old Earth argument, as some biblical figures are said to live thousands of years.
