HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?

First, as a scientist, I would have to say the age of the Earth can definitely be 6,000 years ol, as Yes, as a long time missionary, the geneologies show that it is just over 6000 years old including Jacobs Trouble (with Laban) of 21 years)

Note as a Godly scientist yes,  it once was well known the earth's age was only a few thousand years old..

 

Then the devil was allowed, and is continually working still, everywhere even here,  to deceive men/mankind/ ungodly scientists,  pagans, heathen and the world overall.  

 

Ungodly science lies and says the earth must be old enough under the devil to leave time for the evolution of devils,  etc .

"THE BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW IS SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE

Biblicists believe that the biblical worldview best explains the world in which we live. It is scientific in that it fits the facts of observation."

Many proofs , all of the proof agrees with all of the observations ever,  the Bible is true.

Science and medicine experienced, learned, and posted about by those in favor of the carnal world is opposed to Godliness and contradicts God's Word directly and all the time,  every day.

I agree. But that does not negate what I said. There are two creation stories and they are different.  But that has nothing to do with the age of the earth. And, as I said, the Bible was never meant to be a science book. 

They are not two creation stories, man, they are merely the same with differing amounts of details. 

Chapter 1 is an overview of the entire creation week, God as creator, creating everything, while chapter 2 gives greater detail, specifically into day 6, with YHWH God beginning His relationship with Man. So we have the details of God creating man, placing him in the garden, setting a boundary for him, presenting the animals to him, both to name them, and the see that none of them are suitable as a help meet for Adam's needs, (as well as giving Adam the opportunity to see God create one of each kind of animals and bird, since the bulk of them were created before Adam was, thus refuting any possibility that Satan might convince him otherwise-like evolution), and the forming of the Woman from Adam's rib. 

One, God as Creator and his creation as a whole, two, God as Father dealing with His children. One account, two different thematic specifics and details.

As to the age of the earth, and the Bible as a science book, that's true, it isn't meant to be a science book, but it is meant to be a factual book, and it is full of good science. And Genesis taken at face value, is clearly meant to be taken literally as history, and even the terminology spells out that the days were literal days, evenings and mornings, and that there is no possibility for a gap anywhere there, when the Lord established the Sabbath, He gave, as one reason, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."  Clearly we see here that IN SIX DAYS, everything, everything was made, heaven and earth, and ALL that in them is, which would have to include the angels and all heavenly beings. Everything. In six days. That leaves no room for a gap, no room for long ages, or day/ages, or theistic evolution.

That by definition is two stories. They tell of the creation of earth, but it is two telling, thus two stories. The important thing is that "God did it".
