Of course. Thanks for asking. Reverence is expressed in English because we don’t capitalize every noun. Germans do so with the language itself. “Denn also hat Gott die Welt geliebt...”
There is some level of age that will be expressed in any miracle. As Marlowe points out, Jesus created a vintage wine out of water. Vintage wine, as we know, requires time.
Necessarily the earth had to have soil, and soil is the result of a process. Therefore, there’s some level of age that would have been apparent. Likewise, a fully made human would bypass birth, infancy, adolescence, etc. There would be an apparent age.
Sedimentary layers, however, would be a different subject.
For those areas I rely on the thoughts of my sister, Alamo-girl, and her understanding of a few things things, to include: (1) That Eden was outside of time, and (2) that the point of the big bang, due to relativity and the speed of light, has a different place on the scale of time than does the earth. Time would pass far more on the earth, part of the rapidly expanding universe.

The universe is 7 days old from the inception space/time coordinates.
By my understanding, the first three chapters of Genesis are written from the Creators perspective: namely, God is the author and the only observer of Creation. Further, that those Scriptures speak of the creation of the spiritual realm as well as the physical realm, that Eden was preeminently in the spiritual realm. For me, the location of the tree of life [midst of both Eden and Paradise] is particularly illuminating:
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Revelation 2:7
In my understanding, the perspective of time passing (space/time coordinate) changes to man when Adam is banished to mortality at the end of Genesis 3.
The Jewish calendar also begins with Adam though I believe they begin counting when they believe Adam was created (as if he was created in the physical realm alone) and not when he fell. Since I perceive Genesis 1-3 speaking of both the spiritual and physical realms, and Adam being created in the spiritual realm and banished to the physical realm, I would not propose a birth date for him relative to our perspective in space/time.
Interestingly, we have several other discussions of time and Scripture going on:
