Many get a 6000 year old earth from the passage that says a thousand years is like into a day to God, and a day like into a thousand years.
Six days creation=6 thousand years.
The fossil record alone is in conflict with that notion.

I enjoy Hovind and appreciate him, -that doesn't mean he hits all the right notes.
I get stuck on the idea that the idea that 'the Bible' seems to indicate an earth that is only about 6000 years old. I don't think it does. Maybe you are referring to this present age? --and dismissing the possibility of there having been different cycles or seasons of civilizations before our present story (history) as it has related to us by Moses. Moses tells the story as he knows it. As it was taught to him and he tells it to us in Genesis not as a chronological, play by play unfolding, but as a story. As a song. As imagery and prose. It's only literalists that make no room for this.
