"So, technically, it would only be from Adam. But the Bible also says that Adam was created on the 6th day of creation... so it's the age of the earth too, for creationists."
Wait a minute, there was a creation on the sixth day but 'the' Adam was not created on the 6th, he was created on the day after the 7th, the day after the Creator rested.

Only people reaching for a theory read it that way. Anyone familiar with Semitic languages and story-telling can see quite clearly that Adam was created the sixth day. Not only that, the references back to the literal six days are mentioned as the the memorial for the defining sign of God's people: the Sabbath. Deny the literal six day creation account and the fall of man, and you need to start ripping whole pages from the Bible. The people who have preserved the Scriptures as the Word of G-d have read this each Sabbath for millenia.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Shabbat of solemn rest, holy to HaShem... Therefore the children of Yisra'el shall keep the Shabbat, to observe the Shabbat throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Yisra'el forever; for in six days HaShem made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'" Exodus 31:15-17
The whole nonsense that yom does not represent a day is a ananchronistic reach. Even my three year old knows that "evening and morning" is the definition of a day. When the sun sets he starts saying, "It's tomorrow now".

Read Genesis again dude. Man ("H'Adam") and woman are created on the 6th day. God then rests on the 7th.
