...argue with the Bible? So far nothing in the Bible has been disproved. The Bible makes no claim as to age of the Earth. Listed generations of men were added up to arrive at about 6,000 years for the age of mankind. No man has decidedly determined the Earth's age of origin, and can't. Bible fact is man arrived on Day 6 after Earth was started up in Genesis 1:3, already a dark water-world before "creation week". We don't know why Earth was in that state, for how long, or how or whether life was on Earth before then, or why the surface was covered with water, not associated with a star for light and heat. That can't be known through science. The fossil record has a stark beginning of life, the Archeozoic Eon 3.9 to 2.5 billion years ago based on presumptions of evolution affecting how dating methods are used. No scientist is allowed to publicize a new look at accepted dating methods, resulting in threatening of the theory, except among those not afraid to consider a much younger Earth age, including Creationists.
Modern science academies teach certain geologic principles that are not proved as a basis from which geologists begin interpreting the rocks. Most of the beliefs are suppositions at best, assuming Evolution as the starting principle of life origin. A geology student is taught the granite layer of the crust is "subducting", the edge of continents being forced into the mantle. Trouble is granite is lighter than basalt under it, all lighter than the magma below. Common sense should argue that subduction isn't true, like ice won't sink to the bottom of a glass filled with pure water. Less dense matter doesn't sink into more dense matter. If you push tree logs floating on water they will pile up in shallow or no water. IOW, instead of subducting, continents push up mountains and tend to spread out. Ideas like those commonly held as truth have distorted origins greatly, imposing unsupported long Earth age in the billions of years.
