Some have said that they are 6000 years old, why is there evidence for human civilization that lived 7000, even 8000 years ago?

The fossil history is false. The scientists don't know what they are talking about. Radiometric dating is flawed. Everything is a lie except the Bible. I am trying out the other side of this argument. It's pretty weak I must say.

How do you know how old a fossil is? Just because I tell you a rock is 4.5 billion years old does that mean it is?
This is how we know archaeological evidence in the Americas has to be wrong. How could someone find a 12,000 year old fossil in South America that resembles a Roman, when no people were supposed to be there? Obviously are dating of fossils is wrong.
The core belief in dating incorrectly is due to the Flood. The pressure, temperature, etc. probably had profound effect on the changes of materials on the Earth. Besides all this if God created the world, then He alone knows how the physics of the world works; therefore, no man can correctly date anything that does not have historical evidence to document it. Even parts of ancient Israel as they have been discovered do not comply with historical documentation, the same is true for other places too.
So faith alone is what can answer your question, without proof all we can do is speculate the age of something.

Time is interesting question. Lets look at it. We base Noah and Adam and Eve on Bible. Nowhere in bible does is say how much time had gone by. Now since man had populated Earth by Noah's time I would say quite a number of centuries would had to pass. Evidence? well none exist for Adam and Eve other than science has confirmed one female (Mother) connected to all men! This would be Eve (if you wish) Now some have found wood that is very similar to what Noah used (according to Bible) found on mountain sides. This would suggest that The Arc is buried somewhere within this mountain (sorry forgot name). Time between Adam and Eve and Noah's time well you would have to do that Math. How long would it take to populate Earth? That would be minimal amount of time between them. However we "assume" Earth was populated in Noah's time all we know for sure is that other people existed Noah knew of! This could suggest that man had not migrated outside of area Noah lived in or knew of!

Actually, there is good evidence for "Eve," if by Eve you mean the most recently first human woman with a direct, unbroken line to most of humanity.
Based on the molecular clock technique of correlating elapsed time with observed genetic drift, Eve is believed by some to have lived in a population of humans about 150,000 years ago in what is now Ethiopia or Tanzania.

No archaeological evidence of them. Just what is recorded in the Bible.
The estimate for the age of the Earth is somewhere between 6 and 10 thousand years old. There is alot of information that you may find interesting at the following link.

Most people who truly believe in the 6000 number as literally true, also question the evidence of civilization before that time. They'll question the accuracy of carbon dating, for example.

The truth leaves a physical imprint on the earth.... no there is no physical evidence for Adam, Eve, Noah or Jesus. they are stories told as analogies but religions use these stories to manipulate humanity.

Yep there still is a garden of eden butno one can get near it because it is guarded by an angel with a sword. The ark is supposed to rest on Mt arrarat somewhere in the middle east.
