What evidence do you have to support the idea that Faraday, for example, thought the world was only six thousand years old or would support the twisting of the data to conform to such?

First of all, he belonged to the non-conformists, who were Biblical literalists and believed in special creation. As for twisting data, that became the job of the Darwinists who entered stage-left towards the end of Fradaday’s life. But it is clear from everything I read, that Faraday’s faith in a literal reading of the Bible inspired much of his work in science:

“…the startling boldness of Faraday’s theorizing about the special ordering of magnetic fields was facilitated by his deep belief that nature’s laws were themselves the product of a rational mind. The biblical idea of creation implied that there was an underlying order and unity to the phenomena of nature—-by virtue of the forces impressed on matter by the Creator—-and that the human mind, fallible as it was, could, when guided by experiments, formulate ideas that reflected those laws.”
