“I’m a creationist. More and more I’m seeing references of man 300 to 400 thousand years old.”

Me too... but I think whoever conjured up this 5,000-year-old countdown back in the Middle Ages was working with limited information. Historically reasoned observation and metrics was almost non-existent at that time. I don’t understand how people can believe in creation but still believe in the 5,000-year-old Earth.

The Earth was created in 6 days. The word “day” is Hebrew “Yom” and one of the definitions of yom is “era.”

“Yom” means “day.”’ There is no credible information that it means anything else from Ancient Hebrew.

And morning means morning and evening means evening. “And morning and evening were the first day.”
