If you add up the listed ages of the various individuals in the Bible from Adam to Christ, along the line, and add in our AD years, you arrive at about 6000 years, which used to be the standard answer for Christians.
Some scientists had different thoughts, denying longer life than usual especially to those before the Flood, at a time when the earth might well have been shielded from a lot of cosmic radiation, but the figure stands approximately theologically.
Current science last I checked was that there was an "Eve", Mother of the human race, a few million years ago, 2 or 3, I believe I recall, and no Adam has been firmly identified.
Take your pick, or study another religion and determine from it...I have not studied other religions as to their timing on humanity from first human until now.
Be an interesting study if you have the time and resources!.
And remember, there are always those who make fun of religion, and especially of Christianity for some strange reason, not stopping to think they do so as part of THEIR own religion, which is also rather presumptive, since we cannot go back and prove by experimental verification that what is presumed is actualities; we have only possible artifacts, and some theories. which stretch probabilities pretty badly.

Some Bishop (don't know whether he was Catholic or other) many years ago took the time to add up all the 'begats' and came up with the creation of the Earth in 4004 B.C.
But, according to the record in Genesis, God did not create the Sun and the Moon until the fourth day.
So, how long were the first three days?
4 billion years, according to present scientific theory.
Please note: theories of an aged universe take as much faith as Genesis.

According to the "Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce, the year of "Adam & Eve" dates to almost 150000 years before the entry of RAM into India.
Now whether he ment Ram the 7th incarnation of Vishnu, or Ram Mohan Roy, the late 19th century founder of Brahmo Samaj, one of the first socio-religious reform movements in India, it is unclear.
By what he (Cayce) says about the actual individual we know as Adam (which is not a person but a hemorphadite race that existed; Adam translates from the original Hebrew to mean "first being"), "...he (Amelius) was the first to discover the method in which the seperation (from himself) could take place, as man was more plyable then, as an amobea, and not so hard set."

The story of Adam and Eve is about the coming into existence of man on earth; this is pimeval ages ago before the known glacial age.

The differences between the Young-Earth interpretation of Genesis and modern scientific theories are nontrivial: the Young-Earth interpretation says that everything in the Universe and on Earth was created in six 24-hour days (with a seventh day of rest), estimated by them to have occurred some 6,000 years ago; whereas recent mainstream scientific theories put the age of the Universe at 13.7 billion years and that of the Earth at 4.6 billion years, with various forms of life, including humans, being formed continually thereafter.

From what I can determine from the Biblical account of the "beginning", Adam, "man" was created between the fifth and sixth day of creation. "God" determined that "man" needed a companion. I don't believe the Bible determines how many days passed from the creation of "man" until the time "woman" evolved.
The approximate year would be 0000, as no complete year as we know it would have existed.

Some people believe that Adam and Eve are an allusion to an Egyptian myth of Isis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ_in_comparative_mythology
Etc. Say 4000BC +/- 250 years.

After the animals but before man.Way before recorded time,so there is actually no way to pin-point a specific year since 'IT' didn't exist,in a written sense.Matter of fact,I don't believe they could write or had any use for it in the first place.Too busy covering things up and all that,don't-cha-know."Link 1"

My Bible (Children's illustrated edition) says in 4000 BC, God created Adam and Eve.
Today, we are living in 2007 AD. That means the earth has been existing for about 6000 years.
