As far as how old the earth is in relation to the bible, people often say 6-12k years but this is more or less referring to the time of the fall. There's no specific time frame given between creation and the fall...it could have been days, years or who knows. People often assume the story is days since it flows without any mention of the in-between time but that doesn't mean in-between time and events didn't exist.

Anyway, I'm not making an argument for the earth being a set number of years old, I have no idea how old it is. But ppwc is correct, dinosaurs are mentioned in the bible a few times.
Okay so carbon dating sucks..... It's inaccurate. Take your pick.....

- Amino acid racemization
- Continental drift
- Corals
- Dendrochronology
- Ice layers
- Fission Track dating
- Erosion

If testing showed the earth was even within the vicinity of 10,000 years - I'd be open for discussion but its not even close. So god formed the earth and then waited 1.4 billion years to create man.

We've now mapped the human genome. We're seeing evolution take place in front of our eyes. We're watching our broken genes rebuild and repair. I'm sorry but the science outweighs religion..... I just can't get on board with it.
