I'm a creationist and the scriptural evidence I've seen points to a date of roughly (give or take a bunch of years since I can't remember the exact figures) 4.5 billion years.

Vedas.

Please don't lump all creationists with young earth ones.

True, I should have said young earth/universe creationists.

The 6000 year figure was arrived at by a certain irish bishop named Ushur, using the bible as the only data-set of his scientific study. His middle name was probably MURPHY. This proves once again what Marilyn Von Savant(IQ 230)said : You can convince a 5 year old(in sunday school)of ANYTHING, and a 95 year old of NOTHING.

Hey, if you want to believe that the bible is "figurative", feel free. I'm sure we'll soon see "Christians" who think Christ dying for our sins was figurative as well. As for me, I choose to read in the bible... well, what it says. Anyways, even if you believe in the Darwinists' old Earth, surely you don't believe that humans were around 50,000 years ago. This is just another nail in the coffin for radioisotope dating.
