The Bible does not, I say again, NOT claim that the Earth is only 10,000 years old, or less.

=============================

You are correct in this, except Luke 3:23-38 does suggest a young earth.

=====================================

In fact, if these young-Earth claimants were serious Bible students, they would find strong evidence of an Earthly creation (man, cities, "fruitful places," birds, etc) that predate Adam. ===================================

Verse please. I'm fairly certain you are referring to the gap theory, which I completely reject and I don't have the patience to debate it with you.

You cannot have an old earth with no death before Adam.
