Assuming that biblical creation is true and the earth is just over 6,000 years old, how many years ago was the flood?

The captivity ended around 473BC, the captivity began around 543BC, Solomon's temple was built around 954BC, the Exodus and giving of the law occured around 1434BC, Abram was born around 1963 BC, the flood occured around 2255BC, and Adam and Eve were created around 3911BC.
I did some research and these are my approximate conclusions.

Considering the fact that after the flood all the carnivores died (there was no meat after the flood left on earth for them to eat), all the current animal carnivore species must have evolved after the flood into what they are now.
So, i'd say about 7 billion years ago.
Ehm, the earth is 6,000 years old, so the flood probably happened before the earth was created.

The flood was about 1656 years after the beginning.
Noah was 600 years old at this point in Genesis 7.
The reference below is the Jewish calendar which tells us from the Old Testament, how many years (est.) have passed since the beginning.

Well, that's quite an assumption.
Various people have made calculations based on the stated and presumed lifespans of the people in the Bible. Generally, you can calculate it to about 4000 years ago.
Here's a source which gives the date of 2344 BC:

Noahs flood was when the mountain valley was breached by the sea and the black sea was formed.
Yeah I could give you evidence but you will not listen, just like a tru yank.

How old is IHVH? or how old is the Son of God?
Or an even better question, How old is the first light string to enter the Universe?
