Kreationistien väite maapallon iästä perustunee paljolti John Gillin (1697 – 1771) tuumailuihin. Tässä hänen tekstiään (sulkeissa oleva minun selvennykseni):
--
(...) the numerous rock layers that are the supposed proof for these ages (these ages=geologien arvio maapallon iästä), were mainly laid down by Noah's flood. In Exodus 20:11 we read of a literal six day creation. No gaps, not even for one minute, otherwise these would not be six normal days. Also, in Romans 5:12 we read that death is the result of Adam's sin. Because the rock layers display death on a grand scale, they could not have existed before the fall of Adam. There is no direct evidence that the earth is much older than six thousand years. However, we have the direct eyewitness report of God himself that he made everything in six days. Tracing back through the biblical genealogies we can determine the age of the universe to be about six thousand years with an error of not more than two per cent.

Minusta on erityisen hauska tuo, että "meillä on Jumalan itsensä suora silminnäkijätodistus". :)
