THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY HOW OLD THE EARTH IS
Gen.1:1,2 The bible began with all existing, the billions of time is not given.
Gen.1:3-25; Preparation of the existing earth is beyond doubt thousand of years.
There are as in any field, those who are expert in this field. No all are expected to be experts.
The age of the world Job 37:12; does not need any expert, just those really good at math, but it sure is baffling how very many claim to have figured it, each get a different figure as if math is difficult, it is just scattered in the O.T. 39 books that was 1110 years to done, at 443 before Christ, N.T. 50 to 100 years after Christ 27 books, made public 1611 after Christ, at 303 years is an excepted translation by law of man & God.
Adam would be 6073 this year. Rev.20:1-6; adds 1000 future years to 7073 years accounted for. The world with Satan from Eden will end.
Eph.2:7; 3:21; The world with Jesus is without end. John 3:16; 2Pet.3:13; All is made new. Rev.21:1-5;

Well, because the source for the origins of creation are not necessarily timed in the same measurements as we use today.
There is historical evidence that shows that when the tribes of Israel split for a time into Israel and Judah, each had it's own way of measuring time and years. Which was used for that portion of history? I don't know.
Also, the Bible says that to God, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day, so did He create the world in 6 days or 6000 years?? We don't know really what exact timeline He used to tell the story.

Most scientist don't agree that the world is only 10,000 years old. They say it is billions of years old. Fossil evidence supports this claim and to their great shock, so does the bible. Why do they interpret the 6 days of creation as 24 hour days when 2 Peter says that a day to the Lord is as a 1,000 years and a 1,000 years as a day?

Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.

Old. I don't have a clue, but I think it's much younger than what mainstream science believes, and much older than what the creationists think.

no idea. i think you can't know for sure. a day could be a millions years to God. it may have been a long time between the first day of creation and the sixth.

Their answers are so different because they base them on mythology and fables.
You're not going to get any sort of accuracy that way.
Besides, even the so-called "biblical scholars" (an oxymoron if I've ever heard one) disagree.

The world was created about two weeks ago. God planted false memories in you to make it seem like you're older.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
