By doing the math one can figure out the time from Adam until those whose lives correspond to other written historical times.
Adam to Abraham, for example, and Abraham to Jacob's interactions with a known dated kingdoms...like Pharaoh's.
Then in Matt. 1 we have the list of Abraham's offspring until Jesus was born.
Using average life spans, a figure far less than "billions" is arrived at.As the bible says Adam was created on the fifth day, I see no "world" before the one created on the third day.Without debating the specific years... YES you can get an approximate age from ADAM to when Jesus was born. I agree.
But the earth as you would agree was created BEFORE Adam.
Had there been a world earlier, it wouldn't have been the third day.
God would have had it written that the earth was created on the 5,003rd or 10,003rd day.
There is none, but it is clear from the post Adam lineages that it is so.So what passage of Scripture would tells us that the age of the EARTH is 6,000 plus/minus old?
Do you have a scripture telling us when the earth was really created?
The Earth could be 6000 years old or 6 billion years old and either time period would not violate Scripture.
I see "day and night" as one day.
How do you see it?

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

Re: Everybody knows the earth is billions of years old!
There has been 6, 217 years from Adam to 2023.
I put this all together in 1989 from the bible and Dake's excellent bible study notes in his Annotated bible and his most excellent "God's Plan for Man" one year Bible study course.

With the knowledge of the decreasing life-spans since the earliest men, the times can be worked out with some degree of accuracy.
Do you use some other scriptures to find your idea of the earth's age?
I believe the scriptures in Gen 1, which state that Adam was formed on the sixth day.I only see the lineage of Jesus back to Adam, Do you see something there about the age of the earth?
So, six days plus the age of Adam and his descendants is the age of the earth until Jesus.
Another 2000 some years and we are at today's date.I do know how old Adam was when he had Seth, who had Enos, who had sons until Jesus was born.Problem is you do NOT know how long Adam and Eve where in the garden before they sinned.
How old he was when he sinned doesn't matter in the lineage of the Christ and the age of the world.
I see no restoration, just creation.And you do not know how much time went by from the creation of the heavens and the earth in Gen 1:1 and the restoration of the earth beginning in Gen 1:3.
I don't know the exact year, but I have a very good idea of its age.So you have no idea from the Bible how old the earth is.
God bless
