Pat Robertson is a person who believes some things about the world that are not what most scientists think, and one of those things is how old the Earth is.
He thinks the Earth is only about 6,000 years old, but many people believe it's much older, like billions of years!
Why Does He Think That?
Imagine you have a big birthday cake. If you blow out all the candles at once, that's like saying everyone was born on the same day. But really, people are born on different days.
Pat Robertson thinks God created everything in 6 days, and then rested on the seventh, just like when you finish playing with your toys and want to rest after a long day of fun!
So he believes all of Earth’s history happened in just a few thousand years, not billions. That’s why he doesn’t believe it's 6,000 years old, or maybe he does think that part is right! It's like thinking you finished your birthday cake in one day instead of taking years to make it.
