Old Earth Creationism

Old Earth Creationism is the belief that the universe and Earth are billions of years old, as scientific evidence indicates, but that a divine being created life and the universe through purposeful acts rather than purely natural processes. It reconciles scientific findings on Earth's age with religious faith, often viewing the Biblical creation account as allegorical or non-literal. This perspective respects scientific data from geology, astronomy, and biology while affirming the belief in a creator’s role in the origin and development of life.
