Then why is the prospect of a 4.5 billion year old Earth so hard to accept?
4.5 billion isnt hard to accept, if it were true, but the plain normal reading of genesis and the evidence supports six days better.
==Then why is the prospect of a 4.5 billion year old Earth so hard to accept?
Because it contradicts God’s word. Although, I must admit I find a six day creation far more impressive than 4.5 billion years. Can you imagine if Rome actually was built in a day!
Because God told us otherwise in His word.
