Simple question..show us the bible verse that 6000 years come from?
Read The Bible from cover to cover and I’ve never seen this
Me too. It’s fake news.
It’s folks taking from two different books and testaments even then saying six days of creation in Genesis and a reference in 2 Peter, “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day,” means creation has to be 6,000 years old or thereabouts.
Well you’d need to add up all the patriarchs ages of when each was begotten. Sir Isaac Newton and Bishop Ussher both added it up as approx 4,000 years of old testament. University of Minnesota has a very detailed analysis, but the site below has the best Biblical answers to debate evolution.

Easy answer, Genesis has genealogy information listed. Running a calculation based on this and other historical information in the Old Testament runs around 6000yrs.
They got it by adding up the begats.
The Bible wouldn’t lie about begats, would it?
