Very specific lifespans, etc. were given -and births in relation to lifespans -for the male line from Adam to Abraham. Also from Abraham to David - David to Christ, etc...... commonly referred to as "the begats". Here is an illustration of such -haven't checked the accuracy of this, but so you get the point. Where it says "CREATION", however, is when Adam was created. Many assume that the earth was created about that time -but the bible doesn't actually say that (though it can seem to if you just skim right through).
Billions of years is simply not correct -and don't rule out the ideas of research and development -evolution of design -or even evolution as a design tool (God is a creator, after all) which doesn't need constant attention -when thinking about what came before Adam's creation (apes and such). The second line of the bible can read AND THE EARTH "BECAME" (H1961 היה hâyâh) FORMLESS AND VOID -which changes the whole meaning of what follows -from an initial creation to a renewal.
