Please keep in mind that the Bible was never intended to be a science textbook. Nowhere does the Bible state how old is the earth. We can make calculation and make inferences but that is not what the Bible says. We do not know God’s mind and what information he has given us or the format in which it is given. I do not know how old the earth is. I do not know if there is life on other planets. The Bible is silent on both points.

Of all Christians, the fundamentalist is acutely aware of that.

Thus, scholars have researched the ages of the people and reigns of kings in the Bible and have come up with (deduction) an approximate age of the earth ....

The Bible DOES teach creation of all matter in and on earth.

You can't throw THAT out in your reasoning.
