The '''New Earth Theory''' (also known as '''Young Earth Theory''') most commonly attributes the first 11 chapters of [[Genesis]] to literal human history.
In this view, the reader takes a literal view of [[Creation]] in which the world was created in 6 days. It stands in contrast to the [[Old Earth Theory]].
The New Earth Theory is more particularly common with [[Protestants]] in the West. While many early Christians may have believed the Earth was only thousands of years old, it's mostly a very modern theory among Christians who only see all the passages of the [[Bible]] as literal history. Many early Christian thinkers believed [[God]] created everything instantaneously which stands in contrast to the view of a young Earth.
