Maybe, but if you think the earth is only 6,000 years old...

I don't know how old the earth is. But let's says it's 1 billion years old. Is that old enough for evolution to be responsible for all the world's species?

I'm looking for data about estimated rates of speciation. I found your previous links on biological species concept very informative, thought you might have more...

I'm trying to figure out if you're an inquisitive youngster, with a budding interest in geology and biology, or whether you're an adult who has spent a lifetime avoiding such information, and perhaps sneering at those who have made the effort to learn.

In either case, I suggest starting with something basic and introductory. For example: A Short History of Planet Earth for geology; and What Evolution Is for biology.
