How come only Christian Evangelicals get labeled as kooks for believing in the 6000 year old Earth?

Rosh Hashana occurred at the end of a week of creation that ended Year 1 in the Jewish calendar.

Once when traveling with some gypsies I had a Rabbi tell me this:

“Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.”

I think it has something to do with the Jewish calendar

Yep, Rosh Hashannah corresponds with the sixth day of creation, which is the day God created man and woman.

Thanks JPB.
A San Francisco-based computer scientist says he has solved the mystery of dating Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. Year 5771 begins at sundown Wednesday.
Gosh, however did the Jews keep track of this before there were computers?!? /sarc

Year 5771 begins at sundown Wednesday.

There's no way to even know what the word "year" meant 5771 years ago.
