Bible says the earth is roughly 6000 years old. You may think: No way. But is there any civilization that is actually proven or credibly estimated to be older than that? The homo sapiens, or man, as a species is claimed to be 200 000 years old according to modern science. Yet there is not literally one civilization proven to be older than the roughly 6000 years bible claims is the age of the earth and our species.
But ahh, there were no civilizations because they hadn't learned to farm!
Did the mongols farm? Yet they left a massive footprint on the history of our species.
Stonehenge - less than 6000 years old
Pyramids of Egypt - less than 6000 years old
All the wonders of the world - less than 6000 years old
Yes, there is concrete proof of people living like cave men, using tools made of stone while others clearly had developed advanced metallurgy etc. but such conditions existed among some civilizations mere 1000 years ago. Can you conceive how hard it is to estimate how long ago a stone was chipped to the shape of an arrowhead or knife? Especially as science dates humanity as a species as 200 000 years old, so you have a massive timeline to work with.
How about all of the fossils and dinosaur remains? God talks to Job about a massive land and sea beast, called Behemoth and Leviathan. Also other creatures that clearly are no longer among us are mentioned, and instead of a massive asteroid, why couldn't a massive flooding have caused the same extinction event, such as is mentioned that happened to in the time of Noah? There is actually surprisingly much of archeological proof that such a massive, global flood took place, estimated less than 10 000 years ago.
There is also a weirdly formed shape in the Turkish mountains corresponding with the area bible claims Noah's ark stranded when the flood settled. Noah's ark was ordained by God to be 300 cubits long. Guess how long this shape in the Turkish mountains is? 300 cubits.
