Most young Earth creationists believe that the universe has a similar age as the Earth. A few assign a much older age to the universe than to Earth. Young Earth creationism gives the universe an age consistent with the [[Ussher chronology]] and other young Earth time frames. Other young Earth creationists believe that the Earth and the universe were [[Omphalos hypothesis|created with the appearance of age]], so that the world appears to be much older than it is, and that this appearance is what gives the geological findings and other methods of dating the Earth and the universe their much longer [[timeline]]s.{{cn|date=October 2021}} The Christian organizations [[Answers in Genesis]] (AiG), [[Institute for Creation Research]] (ICR) and the [[Creation Research Society]] (CRS) promote young Earth creationism in the United States. [[Carl Baugh]]'s [[Creation Evidence Museum]] in [[Texas]], United States AiG's [[Creation Museum]] and [[Ark Encounter]] in [[Kentucky]], United States were opened to promote young Earth creationism. [[Creation Ministries International]] promotes young Earth views in Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Among [[Catholicism|Roman Catholics]], the [[List of Catholic creationist organisations|Kolbe Center]] for the Study of Creation promotes similar ideas.
