Dr. John Lightfoot, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and one of the most eminent Hebrew scholars of his time, declared, as the result of his most profound and exhaustive study of the Scriptures, that "heaven and earth, centre and circumference, were created all together, in the same instant, and clouds full of water," and that "this work took place and man was created by the Trinity on October 23, 4004 B.C., at nine o'clock in the morning."
For the record, other pre-modern estimates for the earth’s birth year were (all dates BCE): 5199 (Pope Urban VIII), 4004 BCE (Irish Archbishop James Ussher), 3993 (astronomer/mystic Johannes Kepler), 3952 (the Venerable Bede), and 3374 or 3114 (the Maya). Aristotle took the opposite extreme and believed the earth was infinitely old.

Oscar has hit the nail right on the head, down to the exact year, day, and minute. Do not accept any other answers, especially those who quote a bible or name some god whose name only came after life had started.

1356AD?
Wot rot ! Any fule kno that Bishop Ussher established the first day of creation as Sunday 23 October 4004 BC.
Ussher calculated the dates of other biblical events, concluding, for example, that Adam and Eve were driven from Paradise on Monday 10 November 4004 BC, and that the ark touched down on Mt Ararat on 5 May 2348 BC `on a Wednesday'
