Jim, is this a trick question, or are you stirring the pot a little ? Or do you believe this to be true ? Where did you get 4004 BCE ? Certainly, I do believe there is an omnipotent power in the Universe, but that power really doesn't belong to a person sitting way out in the darkness of space - we are all from the one spiritual energy.
Have you studied the origins of the universe in the hundreds, nay, thousands of scientific data available on the creation of the universe. Do you subscribe to the Big Bang theory ?
Of course, we can never really know the full truth to a question of this magnitude - we are just fallible humans - well most of us :-) but we ARE taking quantum leaps in our knowledge of our how the universe was born - at least the very small part that we have access to. 4004 BCE ? Sure, Jim. Regards :-)

Sure, why the hell not - the dinosaurs, etc are all either figments of our imagination or the work of Satan.
Christians believe that dinosaur bones, Gravity, Stars, etc prove that Satan is everywhere, and is trying to trick us into believing the Bible is not 100% true.
Therefore: in order to believe the bible you must selectively close your mind to universe around you - and not believe in anything that is not in the bible.
As such, Christians Cannot believe in: All Religions loosely based on Christianity, IT, the Internet, Cars, Trains, (other Planets) Mars, Chocolate, Brunch, Leather Sofa's, UK/US Government, the Pope, and most importantly - they Cannot Believe in themselves.

Human fossils prove that humans existed over 130,000 years ago (in Africa); we have also found a number of ancestor-fossils (homo erectus, homo neanderthalis, and so on) that existed millions of years ago.
If you're willing to claim that science is wrong entirely based on the fact that some silly book claims otherwise, then by definition, you ARE a fundamentalist - and you're no better than the muslim extremists who fly planes into buildings.

are you educated man Jim? You are already using the past tense which is "did" yet on your last number of years is 4004BC which is of future tense. Can you ask question which is dignified to the creatureof everything?

Even if you take the seven days of creation as being literal, the creation of the heavens and the earth is still at an unspecified time in the past.

The last ice age receeded about ten thousand years ago, and man has been walking upright for a least 3 million years.

Don't really know. Heck, he could even be a tricky God and say, "you know what? I'm gonna test their faith by adding in stuff that would make them think that I created Earth and the creatures on it waaaaaaay longer than I actually would." I could imagine him doing that and then laughing at us when we get it wrong.
