A problem I’m having with the “10,000 year old Earth” theory is that 10,000 years is 100 hundred-year lifespans back to back. As I gain perspective on what a century is, I realize 10,000 years really isn’t very long, and the world & universe we look at doesn’t fit in that box.

You and me both. As I age I am always doing mental comparisons such as "let me see, the Civil War was just 84 years before I was born; and Pearl Harbor is 71 years from today. So for kids I see walking around today WWII is just about as distant from them as the Civil War is from me." Makes most of history seem pretty recent.
