I understand your dilemma, especially the understanding of the age of the earth. Before I go into depth about your findings, 2 questions:

How many times, say, just in the past 100 years, has the age of the earth changed? How many times has the age of the planet, during this 100 years, grown and shrunk?

I'll be back tomorrow, I do have a life beyond Freeping.

Each second it grows one second older. Each millesecond, it grows one millesecond older. Each microsecond, it grows one microsecond older ...

The age of the earth has been refined several times over the last 100 years. It has gotten older, not younger. The changes are getting smaller, as the technology improves and the processes are refined. It is narrowing in on about 4.5 billion years. There has been less and less, and now pretty much no, support for the young earth scenario from this process.

How about all the points I raised in my post from my experience with western US archaeology? Are you going to ignore them all and try a subject switch? Or are you going to link a few refinements in the age of the earth over a century or so, narrowing in on 4.5 billion years, to somehow "proving" the earth is only 6,000 or so year old?

What is your point?

Each change has been based on more accurate measurements. The age is not being changed arbitrarily.

In any case, no age of the Earth or the Universe given in the last hundred years is anywhere near the 6000-10000 years your belief system requires.
