Young Earth creationism

Young Earth creationism (YEC) is the belief^[1] that the God of Judaism or Christianity created the Universe, the Earth and all life on Earth over a short time between 5,700 and 10,000 years ago.^[2] Those who believe young Earth creationism are mainly Christians and Jews.^[3] They believe the Genesis account of creation in the Bible is completely true. Young Earth creationists believe that God created the Earth in six 24-hour days.^[4]^[5] They disagree with other creationists because they believe the Bible is literally true when it tells the age of the Earth.
