Všichni křesťané, kteří věří v Boží stvoření světa s určitým záměrem se nazývají „kreacionisté“. Ti křesťané, kteří nesouhlasí s vědeckým konsensem, že svět je několik miliard let starý a že k biologické složitosti došlo prostřednictvím evolučních mechanismů, jsou naýváni „kreacionisté mladé Země“ (YEC – Young Earth Creation Science), v kontrastu s kreacionisty „staré Země“.

- Henry Morris ve svém známém výroku vyjádřil jasný názor na otázku, zda může být křesťan evolucionistou: „Ano, bezpochyby je možné být křesťanem a evolucionistou. Stejně tak může být křesťan – zloděj nebo křesťan – cizoložník nebo křesťan – lhář! Křesťané mohou být v mnoha věcech nekonzistentní a nelogičtí, ale to je vůbec neospraveklňuje!“ (King of Creation, 1980, pp. 83-84)

Křesťanské stránky Anti-YEC
- Christians in Science(CiS) The membership of CiS holds diverse opinions on YECS. However, it is probably fair to say that the dominant opinion reflects that of most Christians active in academic science or theology, who would not support YECS, and may even consider it to be damaging to the cause of the Gospel. These ideas are reflected, for example, in the following
- letter on Young Earth Creationism in Schools , written by many CiS stalwarts.

Kreacionisté staré Země
Živá debata mezi kreacionisty staré a mladé Země ukazuje, že jde stále o zásadní otázky
- Answers in Creation very comprehensive site.
- Age of the earth? Christian site arguing for an old earth
- Is the Young-Earth Interpretation Biblically Sound? this site disagrees.
- Is There Really Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth? written by a Christian undergraduate.
- Reasons to Believe. A large apologetics organisation run by Hugh Ross, an astronomer who has popularised a version of the anthropic principle among American evangelicals. Ross believes in an old earth and the big bang, but is also an ID advocate who doesn’t seem to believe in macro evolution.
- Reasons to Believe FAQ about the age of the earth
- The Creation Date Controversy In spite of Ross’ skepticism towards evolution, the success of his old earth advocacy amongst evangelicals has made him the bête noire of the YECS community, as the following sites demonstrate:
- The dubious apologetics of Hugh Ross
- “Progressive Creationist” Hugh Ross, who is he and what does he believe?
- a book specifically countering his old earth arguments
- A series of articles about Ross at the Institute for Creation Research (ICR)
- Hugh Ross v.s. Russell Humphreys — Ross has criticised the YECS cosmology of Humphreys, described in his book Starlight and Time: Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe. The exchanges below are an interesting illustration of the rhetorical style that often characterises this debate.
- Ross’ view: Exchanges Between Dr. Hugh Ross and Dr. Russell Humphreys
- Humphreys’ view: Hugh Ross Avoids Debating Russ Humphreys … Again
