Young Earth Creationism
From Reconciling understandings of Scripture and Science
(Redirected from YEC)
Modern Young Earth Creationism (or "YEC") has a brief but interesting history. It frequently includes a belief that the entire universe was created as recently as 6,000 years ago; sometimes it envisages a "young earth in an ancient universe".
See Fundamentalism for a link to an essay marking the hundredth anniversary of the Fundamentalist movement in 2019.

- 1 Timothy 1:4 is considered relevant by brother Alan Eyre
- Brother Alan Fowler describes Christadelphian acceptance of Young Earth Creationism as a "recent capitulation to an American fundamentalist interpretation of Genesis 1" in a 2002 letter to the Testimony Magazine — see extract here.
