How Does the Bible Explain Fossil Ages Over 6,000 Years (Genesis 1:2)?
From the Bible we know that Adam and Eve were the first humans made in the image of God and given a human spirit to make possible the wondrous functioning of the human mind. They were created for the purpose of enlarging the Family of God. This is the important knowledge about human life—the incredible human potential—which can be learned only from God's revelation, not from the fossil record.

How old is the earth?
Quick-read this article:
The Bible is clear that Adam, the first man, lived only 6000 years ago. Adam was created on the sixth day of God's Creation Week, so the earth must be only 6000 years old too.
And Adam was the first man, created in the first week of the earth's existence.
He lived only about 6000 years ago.
