Young Earth Creation means the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. The biblical genealogies and historical records support this belief. I now advocate for the Septuagint's chronology as more reliable than the Masoretic Text, which has been corrupted. It follows then that the age of the Earth is about 7,580 years.

The Curse resulted in decay, disease, and death affecting the entire creation, meaning the whole universe. The effects are seen in the cosmos and in living organisms. However a future restoration of creation is promised by God, reversing the effects of the Curse.
