I grew up reading scriptures, too. But, do you *honestly* in your heart of hearts believe that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago over a preiod of 7 days?

I mean no disrespect, I just want to know if you yourself honestly and truly belive that to be the case.

As strange as it sounds to the unbeliever, YES. I believe creation happened as Genesis describes. I also believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that Jesus walked on water, and that he was resurrected.

I am consistent - the Bible is the Word of God. You cannot dismiss some of it and not be rejecting it all. Just because current science attempts to ensure God is not part of anything, doesn't make it so.

Let me clarify: I believe that God completed his creation in 6 days (not 7) and creatures then multiplied and adapted as needed within their "kind".

Exactly how old the earth is, I don't know. Based on Biblical geneology, it should be about 6 to 8 thousand years. Before you attempt to flame me, those numbers are an semi-Biblically-educated guess.
