What are the reasons that some Christians believe the Earth is only 10,000 years old?
<|assistant|>
Some Christian creationists believe the Earth is only 10,000 years old based on a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, which they interpret as literal, historical fact. This interpretation is sometimes referred to as young-earth creationism and is rooted in a literal interpretation of the creation story in Genesis. Other Christians believe the Earth is younger than 10,000 years old due to a belief in scientific creationism which posits that the Earth is much younger than the estimated age of 4.5 billion years set forth by scientists.
