Numerous individuals who have posted on your thread here have indicated that the Bible does give us a definitive age of the earth, as in around 6000 years old. Specifically, the world was created on October 23, 4004 BC if you believe Bishop Ussher. His dates were printed in the KJV for several hundred years. That is where YECs get their dating from. And here they thought it was Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis.
So how old do you think the earth is? You must have some opinion. Closer to 6000 years old or closer to 3.5 billion years old? We have a rather large discrepancy here.
You indicated you are a scientist. You said you are a molecular biologist. Correct?
You don't talk like a scientist. You don't appear to know much of anything about scientific theory. Do you know anything about the criteria of falsifiability?
Are you saying that nothing can be reliably tested for age by such methods as Carbon-14 dating?
What about the Dead Sea Scrolls? Do you know why it is so important that they are accurately dated?

i want to address these issues rather than trying to make myself sound good. People's eternal salvation is surely more important than our little quibbles. Here's to better relations in future, God bless. Mark
