The earth is just around 6,000+ years old
The earth, and the rest of the universe is around 13.7 billion years old
To answer your question regarding Gen. 1 and 2. It seems that your saying that the bible has contradiction. Please let me say a couple of things first.
Genesis 1
Day one - Heavens and earth are created. "Let there be light." Day and Night.
Day two - Atmospheric waters separated from earth waters.
Day three - Land appears separating the seas. Vegetation is made.
Day four - Sun, moon, stars are made.
Day five - Sea life and birds are made.
Day six - Land animals, creeping things, and man (male and female) are made.
Genesis 2
States heaven and earth were created. There was no plant yet on earth, no rain yet, and no man. But, a mist rose watering the surface of the ground. Then the Lord formed man from dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Finally, God made Eve.
There is no contradiction between Genesis 1 and 2. Genesis 1 is a detailed explanation of the six days of creation, day by day. Genesis two is a recap and a more detailed explanation of the sixth day, the day that Adam and Eve were made. The recap is stated in Gen. 2:4, " These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens," Then, Moses goes on to detail the creation of Adam and Eve as is seen in verses 7 thru 24 of Gen. 2. Proof that it is not a creative account is found in the fact that animals aren't even mentioned until after the creation of Adam. Why? Probably because their purpose was designated by Adam. They didn't need to be mentioned until after Adam was created.

naay contradiction.. ingon sa gen. 1 sa day 5 gihimo og una ang animals dayon sa gen. 2 gihimo una ang tao dayon ang animals dayon lain nasad nga tao. sa imong gen. 2 wala man nimo giapil ang animals, ni lahos man ka ni eve. ang giingon sa bible nag una ang mga animals dayon si eve.. and for me that is contradictory.
the process of evolution of a one-celled organism branching out to different types of flora and fauna specially into a rational being, should take a really, really long time. How come in just a short span of time a thinking biped suddenly came into the picture which distinguished it from the other homos ? Where did they came from ? Just a thought...
