    The age of the earth is not agreed upon by all Creationists. Some
    believe the earth was created about 6 to 10 thousand years ago,
    some believe 100,000 years, and some say the earth could be millions
    or billions of years old.
    This is not the primary issue in Creationism and most creationists
    will not be dogmatic on it.
    The length of time for creation would be relative to which view of
    age one holds.
    The reason for the creation has got nothing to do with science.(As
    if you didn't know that)
    A creationist could easily ask the question: Why did things evolve?
    But any answer on the part of a scientist would be purely conjecture.
