Correct, it is actually only 5769 years old.
Personally I thought it was 10000 years old..
Actually, some Creationists believe that the Bible reads that there was a creation then a “replenishing” that is accounted for in Genesis 2, the Garden of Eden account. This would allow for a much earlier creation event. I don’t know whether the 6 day account was actual or poetic. There are some pretty definite indications that poetic form was used in places of the account. That doesn’t mean that we should read the whole thing as being symbolic. Determining what is symbolic and what is actual needs divine illumination.
The on-going debate between evolution and creation, I think, is futile. Evolution cannot explain the creation of all life forms that exist and creation does not rule out the theory of evolution. Scholars who attempt to rule out creation with theories like Big Boom and evolution fail very basic and fundamental rules of science, as intelligent as they might be. We simply do not know and the secular theories have infinite gaps in them.
For either side of the issue to take a superior and derogatory attitude toward the other is ignorant. I say we leave the attitudes outside the discussion.
