The Bible doesn't say how old the Earth is. That was a miscalculation by Bishop Ussher.

My point was that the church told us the earth is 6000 years old for 1500 years, then once science proves them wrong, they start trying to show how the bible actually says the earth is billions of years old. I'm just showing how ridiculous after the fact predictions are.

I know. Your point is wrong. Bishop Ussher's estimate was only accepted by certain sects and then became really popular about 100 years ago when the fundamentalists dreamed up this nonsense against evolution.
