That’s false.
Bishop Usher (sp?) said that, not the Bible.
Actually, the Bible DOES claim exactly 1656 years from Creation to the flood (Genesis 5), and 427 years from the beginning of the flood to the Covenant with Abraham (Genesis 11).
There is some debate on the timing of Abraham, but looking at contemporary history (Egypt, Sodom & Gomorrah, etc.) many place him between 2000-1800 BC. Of course, this assumes the Genesis records skips no generations, which appears unlikely based on the narrative. Nevertheless, it is there for you to study youself.
It's fairly easy to get to a 6,000 year old Earth, for "Bible Believing Christians", of which I am one.
It’s extra Biblical what you are saying.
It actually kind of makes you a Bible adder to-er, which ain’t good.
I know you mean well.
If the universe is seen in terms of General Relativity, one can, through visualizing the ‘slowing’ of time given that system’s mass, actually construct a table that should seem logical to ‘old’ and ‘young’ advocates alike.
But such a view too, would have a young earth creationist subscribing to General Relativity. Is that possible?
