How do we know God created the earth recently?

Answered in 1 source

The account in Genesis 1 presents a young earth creation view, contrasting with theories that suggest vast ages.

The Genesis creation account is interpreted within a sovereign grace theological framework as describing a relatively young earth creation. The initial condition of the earth being 'without form and void' does not imply an ancient past marred by catastrophe, as some theories suggest. Instead, it presents a direct creation by God over a short period. The Hebrew terms 'tohu' (without form) and 'bohu' (void) signify an unformed state rather than a result of destruction, reinforcing the concept that God created everything good on the sixth day. Interpreting scripture within its context confirms that the biblical account does not support an old earth theory.
