According to certain interpretations of Biblical Chronology, the planet's age can be determined by tracing the lineage of mankind from the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis to the birth of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Young Earth Creationists, therefore, estimate our world is only 6,000 to 10,000-years-old - an estimate at odds with the scientific estimate of 4.543 billion years.
But how does this reconcile with the fossil record and the dinosaurs scientists have told us died millions of years before us?

What is the evidence? A brass carving of a dinosaur-like creature adorning the tomb of an English bishop buried in the Middle Ages - more than 300 years before palaeontologists even coined the term "dinosaur".
Professor Meyer explained: "Startling evidence has come to light which demonstrates that English artisans had knowledge of what dinosaurs looked like as far back as the end of the Middle Ages.
"Some 350 years before the English biologist and palaeontologist Sir Richard Owen coined the term 'dinosaur' in 1841, a tomb was decorated with the likeness of these creatures.
