There is an emerging industry based on selling pseudoscience to those who will accept it. The typical sham-artist peddling books and videos is ready and willing to tell people everything they want to hear.
Based on the combined evidence gathered by the world's brightest scientific minds, its virtually impossible for the Earth to be 6000 years old. But what does the Bible say?

If a day to God is 1000 years, and Creation took seven days, then the Earth should be at least 7000 years old, plus a few extra thousand years to account for ancient and modern times.
(Now I know that's not REALLY what those verses mean. But it does show how easy it is to support a nonsensical viewpoint with a literal read of "God's Word" and a little basic math.)
