If the Biblical timeline of history is to believed (with Noah’s Ark through the line of Patriarchs and Adam’s lineage, then the earth does have to be somewhere along the lines of no more than 10,000 years old. Yet I agree with you that The Bible doesnt contradict science (afterall God created the world, including nature, and all natural laws).
The question is what consists of “science” I contend speculation does not, only provable emprical evidence, which (in my opinion does not include “macro-evolution”).

I believe in the Biblical timeline of history. However, I do not believe in the interpretation by some that the Bible says that the universe is something less than 10,000 years. Hebrew allows for the meaning of a "day" to be anywhere from just the daylight hours to an unspecified amount of time (see here for more involved explanations. Once one recognizes that fact, any supposed conflict with science goes away. Think of it as you would the English word "time." Time can mean exactly 3 PM, or the time of the Roman Empire, or every moment that has happened since creation. Same word, different meanings, depending upon the context.
