There are some on these threads that do subscribe to the <10,000 year old earth. Whether that is many, I do not know.
Are you spreading false rumors about people by assuming that?
For the record, I do not know the opinion of even my closest friend concerning the age of the earth. It simply never came up.
Same with my children. I know that they believe that God created the world in pretty much the order that is stated in Genesis and animals did not evolve from a common ancestor, and that man did not evolve from apes, but we never discussed the age of the earth either.
The whole age of the earth thing is just another in a long line of attempts to discredit religion, just like the flat earth myth. If doubt can be cast on the account given in Scripture, it opens the door for casting doubt on the whole rest of the Bible. If one can make the creation account or the Flood to be a lie, then they can try to make out the whole Bible as a lie.
Science is being used as a weapon to bludgeon Christians and Christianity with and those who claim to be true scientists would do well to demand that it be stopped and stop giving a bad name to science instead of letting it get hijacked by the likes of Dawkins et al.

So is GGG trying to discredit religion?

It really is sad that you define science as anti-christian and anyone who doesn’t agree with you as anti-christian.
I confessed earlier in this discussion that I believe the earth to be about 6000 years old. Actually, I respect the Hebrew time line which is that Creation will have its 6000 year birthday about 2026. What a great time for Jesus to come back. Some end timers are looking at 2012 or whenever the Mayan calendar ends, but I think that ending in 2026 would be perfect. Then a 1000 year sabbath or rest with Christ.
