Young Earth Creationism is collapsing — even inside evangelical churches.

In 2006, 61% of evangelicals believed the earth was 6,000 years old.Today, that number is 40%.Among Gen Z evangelicals, it is just 28%.

The belief that once defined evangelical identity — six literal days, no evolution, no compromise — is no longer the majority position. And the shift is happening fastest among younger, educated Christians and seminary students.

In this documentary, we investigate:
• Why Young Earth Creationism is declining inside evangelicalism
• What Pew Research data reveals about generational shifts
• Why evangelical seminaries are dropping strict Young Earth requirements
• Why pastors privately doubt six-day creation but avoid preaching about it
• The decline in cultural influence of Answers in Genesis and the Ark Encounter
• The rise of BioLogos, Old Earth Creationism, and theistic evolution
• What this theological shift means for the future of biblical authority

This is not a story about liberals taking over the church.It is about evangelicals rethinking a doctrine that was treated as non-negotiable for a century.

Young Earth Creationism was once the line separating “faithful” Christians from compromisers. Now it is becoming a minority position within evangelicalism itself.

What happens when an entire generation of evangelicals no longer believes the earth is 6,000 years old?
