And in we go....
I’m a young earther and the Bible is very clear that the creation took 6 days. Either we believe what the Bible tells us or not and that’s up to each of us to decide.
Re-creation is not supported by any scripture either.
Get the book Refuting Compromise by Jonathan Sarfati (On Amazon for under $15) and read it for yourself. He goes right at every issue that supports an old earth and takes them apart. But don’t believe me check it out for yourself.
I’ve always said and I try to stick with it that all my beliefs are put on the table to debate. I’d rather find out I’m wrong NOW rather then LATER if you know what I mean. :)

The age of things is also irrelevant to the debate between creationism and Darwinism. The issue there is not the age of things but the origin of living things.
Although off point, the age of things is still an interesting discussion. The age of the earth may be biblically distinguished from the age of creation as we know it beginning with Genesis 1:2. Note that beginning with Genesis 1:2, the earth was already there (water covered the earth). There is no time fame mentioned in Genesis 1:1-2. It is therefore very plausible that the earth was created eons ago and that creation as we now know it upon the earth beginning with Genesis 1:2 happened about 6000 years ago.
