Biography White was brought up by his parents as an atheist, he later became a theistic evolutionist after studying geology. He later changed his position after studying the Bible, saying evolution is not compatible with Christianity, and became a young Earth creationist.

In his autobiographical paper "My spiritual pilgrimage from theistic evolution to Creation," White says:

In his 1985 book How Old is the Earth?, White said that any evidence which shows that the Earth is older than the Bible is superficial and misleading. White says the theory of evolution is linked to immorality. In an interview with the BBC he said, "If you tell people they're animals, they'll behave like animals".

Radiometric dating White accepts the general validity of carbon-14 dating for the last five thousand years but not beyond.
