One can believe that the world is older than 6,000 years and still believe in the literal creation account in Genesis.

Mankind hasn't been on Earth longer than 6-10 thousand years.

That is precisely the point and why I get irritated with the 6K earthers.

I am strong believer in Christ and the Bible and still believe the Earth is millions of our years old. Nowhere in the Bible does it say the earth is only 6000 years old. Only that man has been here partaking in God’s creation for 6000 years.

At the “end of the day” it doesn’t really matter, though. Are you a new creation in Christ or not? If not, you have bigger problems than how old the Earth is.
