I have heard this a few times in the past and it has peaked my interest. Who believes that the earth is only 6000 years old? More so than that, Why?

It's actually 6,000 for creation, then 1000 years of rest then we need to add 6.000 years from the time Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden until now....

So roughly 13,000 literal years since the first day of creation...

Just type "YEC" into a Google search,,,and you'll find more than a few "believers" that adhere to such a "truth"...but about as many that will insist that the Earth is flat, and that the Sun orbits the Earth.

Why?

Only their god knows...

To my certain knowledge, there are no trampolines in the fossil record older that 6,000 years. This strongly suggests that the earth cannot be older than that, for it is utterly inconceivable that life as we know it could exist on this planet without Girls On Trampolines.

Just needed to edit that a bit..

The Biblical calendar/account of events/peoples help us to come to this amount of time. Our calendars take over at a certain point and give us this final figure....

Yes and the passage of time is well documented in the Old Testament ...

The Biblical calendar gives us an accurate account of the years that have passed from creation to a certain point at which our Gregorian calendar takes over....

Based on historical accounts these two calendars give us the approximate time that has passed since the first day of creation.

"Creationists are certain that the Bible is accurate, authoritative and trustworthy in every field of knowledge, whether that be theological, historical, scientific or any other. The Bible contains a definite and precise chronological timetable that begins with the creation of this world and the first man, Adam, and covers the great historical events of the first 11,000* of history.[SIZE=-1]

[/SIZE] Actually, evidence in the secular record is not at all in disagreement with the sacred record, and the sacred record can be used to place the secular record in proper perspective. Because the Bible is true and accurate in its accounts of people, places and time, men can use it to distinguish between what is true and false about the secular viewpoints.

Data from the observable universe concerning the earth’s past history is becoming increasingly available as men search out the secrets of the universe. But is the world far older than 13,000 years as deduced from Biblical evidence?"

*My footnote: 11.000 years until Christ at which time we add another 2,000 years of course.
