I'd guess around 6,000 years.
I believe the bible account word for word and I'm so narrow minded I can see through a keyhole with both eyes.
Honest answer.

Thanks for the reply.

I too believed that way at one time. However, the evidence persuaded me that 6000 years just could not account for everything we can see or measure.

Just one example (and there are many thousands) is the supernova 1987A. That in itself shows the universe to be at least 167,000 years old.

So... is that "broad" or "narrow?"
