My preferred translation states that "In the beginning God
created the heaven (singular) and the earth (lowercase "e").
The word "heaven" is referring to all space,
and the word "earth" is referring to all matter.
All the translations that attempt to "fix" it actually muff it up.
So the point is that there was a beginning of time, space, and matter.
There are two accounts of Jesus explaining when the beginning was.
Here and here.
Tangent:
Genesis 1:1 is a trinity of trinities.
Beginning of time, space, and matter.
Time is a trinity: past, present, future.
Space is a trinity: height, length, width.
Matter is a trinity: solid, liquid, gas.

I came across this article on the Answers in Genesis website in regards to the age of the earth - https://answersingenesis.org/age-of-the-earth/how-old-is-the-earth/

The problem is, that it is not the meaning of the "day" in Genesis.
I say this as if you extend the period between each day the account of how God created the Heavens and the Earth would not work. For example. Day three. God made the plants and the trees. Day four. God made the sun and the moon. Consider this. Put a year between day three and day four. You may be lucky and have two or three plants remain. Now if a thousand years is as a day is misquoted and added between day three and day four, to you think plants and trees would live for a thousand years without the heat from the sun?
I read a book about different ways of measuring how old earth can be.
There are many ways of measuring that and Depending on what way you choose the earth can be billions years old or just thousands years old.
So science can't specified how old is it.
I think the bible does not lie about the earth age

LOL Do you mean where the man asks the archeologist "How old is that sample? The archeologist answers..Ten million years. But how do you know? asks the man. Well, the geologist says this rock is ten million years old. Then the man asks the geologist. How do you know this rock is ten million years old? And the geologist answers. Well, the archeologist says.....
Sorry, I didn't even look at your age! I didn't mean to write like you were an old man . Actually my English is not that good either
It'd be a really hard work to do.
And you wouldn't be able to know the exactly age.
A way to do it, as someone said before, is calculating through genealogical records. If you think the bible is true then the years can be calculated that way, you can have an estimate number. And if you believe the authority of the bible, it couldn't be compared to a scientist opinion.

If your God made you out of dust and air then does it really matter how old the earth is since you can't even make a human body without all three states of matter, liquid, solid and gas?
"there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." (1 John 5:8)
Thus it is written in John 3:5 "5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
So with water you then would have dust, air and water, or solid, gas and liquid, but even then it would be a lifeless body since all states of matter are comprised of atoms which are neutral, which Biblical speaking is like being neither hot nor cold, but in science means having no positive or negative charge which is the force necessary for inert matter to produce motion on its own without any outside force.
But as it is written John 3:12, if someone doesn't believe it takes the three states of matter having mass required to form the human body then they won't believe anything about the matter without mass which gives the flesh life. So I will give my finger a rest.

When one says 'Talk to me as though...' it means "Keep it simple." And truly. Your English is far better than some Americans or Canadians who speak the language.

You may want to investigate Young Earth theory. I makes sense to me. Carbon 14 dating methods are faulty; once a live mollusk was pronounced over 10,000 years old and dead I might add by the same. Life magazine in the 70s even ran an article about this inaccurate dating method.
Geologic timetables are also faulty... live human footprints and dinosaur footprints were found in the SAME strata in the Paluxy River bed in Glenrose Texas decades ago. If you measure the amount of magnetic force being lost each decade and century and take that backwards a million years you'd have enough force to be plastered to the earth! The amount of lunar dust settling on the moon would be miles high if the universe were millions of years old. Also, the deterioration of geologic forms of the earth could take millions of years... or one deluge flood. Speaking of floods, a wolly mammoth was found preserved at the artic pole with buttercups in its stomach, and sea shells were found on the top of mountains. Some trees hve been found "crossing" strata that scientists have said were time periods part. Earth might be 10,000 or 20,000nor more years old, but we have no conclusive evidence of millions of years old, not in written history, not in the geologic record, and even less "evidence" regarding evolution if you investigate. Hint: Darwin never found the "missing link" and if we had to evolve FROM apes why do we still HAVE apes?Try research by Morrison, or the Creation Research Society and many others. God bless your search.

Maybe because when men began to multiply upon the face of the earth that daughters was born unto them, so maybe the mitochondrial Eve looked like Marie Laveau?
