The question isn’t how old the Earth is.
The question is when the Breath of God entered it.

We weren’t handed a geology textbook —
We were given Logos.

And Logos didn’t erupt into flesh until roughly 7,000 years ago, in the Garden of Eden.
That’s when the dust — also made by God, and standing upright long before — finally realized it was dust.
And God called it man.

That’s when humanity was formed not merely in biology,
but in spirit — in the image of God, with conscience, reason, and moral weight.

Everything before that?

Irrelevant.
Beautiful, mysterious, ancient, but pre-Logos.

To say the Earth is only 6,000 years old isn’t just bad science,
It’s bad theology, dressed in panic and preaching to Darwin’s ghost.

Ironically, by clinging to a young Earth to “refute” evolution,
many Christians grant Darwin the very premise he demanded:

That Genesis must be geological to be true.

It isn’t.

It’s revelation, and the divine clock doesn’t start with rocks.
It starts with Word and Logos.

Stop playing Darwin and the Dragon’s game.
By outrageously claiming that the Earth is only 6,000 years old,
you make us all look unhinged.

You’ve traded eternal truth for a false choice —
And in doing so, you’ve let the serpent define the terms.

And by allowing that,
you’ve helped drive millions away from Christ
people who never even stopped to hear the Gospel,
because they saw a Church shouting nonsense about the Earth being younger than a bristlecone pine.

You didn’t defend the truth.
You were manipulated by the Dragon to discredit it and turn people away from it.

I have a better question: Who cares?

It's really a moot point.
I agree to a point... the age of the earth is not important.

However, there's a problem that has arisen because science and religion disagree so drastically. The church is viewed from without as caring more about tradition than truth. And if the church doesn't have the truth...

The archaeological record for intelligent humans goes back at least 12,000 years.

What do you do with the stuff we've dug up that's older than 7,000? Things like Gobekli Tepe show that the builders possessed human intelligence well before the 7,000 year mark.

Yeah so called carbon dating is not settled science you know.

Just because some scientists say things are true does not mean they are.
Carbon dating isn't the end-all be-all. It's a good bit of science, that has unfortunately been frequently mis-used.

But, the record of human civilization in northeast Turkey and Armenia is a continuous unbroken record stretching back much further than 7000 years.
