"Again, six literal days fits all the evidence that we have."
How about the fact that physics is a property God gave existance? I feel God gave us that for a reason. How does your view that we've been around for only 5000 years fit into the idea of stars that have died 10,000 years ago? Why would God have things like that there?
I believe earth is between 6000 and 10000 years old.
However, the dating methods which label the dying stars from 10,000 years ago are based on flawed theories and assumptions. That year label is applied by man -- there are no birth and death records of stars.
