The first chapters of the Bible detail a story of creation. This singular fact is the entire basis of this belief system, and is the cudgel of logic Hovind uses to smash ideas such as radiometric dating, cosmic ray analysis, the Hubble constant and Geology. According to Hovind, the only valid piece of information in existence is the Bible, and therefore the only valid way to compute the age of the universe is to add up the ages of all people detailed in the Bible. Through this process, Hovind has determined the age of the universe to be about four to six-thousand years old. | The first chapters of the Bible detail a story of creation.

Hovind holds firm in the belief that not only is it impossible to prove the Earth is billions of years old; it is also impossible for the human mind to conceive of numbers larger than 6000. Hovind also postulates that if something is impossible for humans to conceive of, that proves that thing cannot exist in reality. Hovind also adds that the scientific community uses large numbers as a propaganda technique. According to Hovind, these numbers have been engineered by scientists to overload peoples minds - forcing them to believe in the false narrative of | Hovind holds firm in the belief that not only is it impossible to prove the Earth is billions of years old; it is also impossible for the human mind to conceive of numbers larger than 6000.

{{Lesson|Carbon dating, a form | {{Lesson|Carbon dating, a form of [[wikipedia:Radiometric_dating|radiometric dating]] erroneously believed by Hovind to be the only form of its kind, is only capable of dating fossilized remains of around 6,000 years old. Other forms of radiometric dating include Samarium–Neodymium dating which can determine the age of an object up to 20 million years old and Rubidium-Strontium dating, capable of determining the age of an object fifty billion years old.}} | ||
