This entire news article is rubbish.
The Bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old, and that is good enough for me.
It would be good enough for me, too, if the Bible actually said or even implied that the earth was 6,000 years old. However, it doesn't.
Not only that, but God's revelation to us through his wonderful creation shows us that the universe is about 14.5 billion years old and the earth about 4 billion years old.
I'm sticking with God's revelation instead of a man-made age for the earth.
“The Bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old, and that is good enough for me.”
So, you believe it without all the made up science of the “creation science” movement? If so, you are something that all of “creation science” can never be - honest and faithful.
The Bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old, and that is good enough for me.

Can you point me to chapter and verse wherein this is stated unequivocably?
Faith is a wonderful thing (seriously). Suit yourself on your belief system, but don't take that attitude into your palaeontology final (helpful hint). :-)
