History? Oh there is much MUCH more to that post of mine than some offhand notion of merely teaching a bit of history. But truly, such a quaint assessment betrays a failure of wanting to know and needing to know. Both of those useful traits are of such a poignantly indispensable nature that we should endeavor to possess them in inexhaustible measure.
In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

The Ancestors of Jesus
23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jan′na-i, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathi′as, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Nag′ga-i, 26 the son of Ma′ath, the son of Mattathi′as, the son of Sem′e-in, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Jo-an′an, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerub′babel, the son of She-al′ti-el,[c] the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elma′dam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Elie′zer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eli′akim, 31 the son of Me′le-a, the son of Menna, the son of Mat′tatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Bo′az, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Ammin′adab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Re′u, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Ca-i′nan, the son of Arphax′ad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methu′selah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Maha′lale-el, the son of Ca-i′nan, 38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
I think 77 generations are here and you say the world is billions of years old

But then again it WAS a thrilling pursuit, with an unassessably valuable payoff pursuant to all of the foregoing sweat equity.
So sad to hear of your failures in both the seeking and the acquiring buddy. Here's hoping that in terms of scholarship, something will eventually just sort of pan out in your favor or fall into your lap.

I stridently disagree. I am of the extremely rapid multiple catastrophism model.
For reference see The Flood, the Babel catastrophe, the Peleg catastrophe, the many catastrophes noted in the book of Job (the earth was still very unstable), Sodom, and basically the entire book of Revelation.
Furthermore realize that the Biblical creation account matches a cosmological plasma Z-pinch scenario perfectly. And don't forget to factor in a far lesser ZPE field strength early on, with a vastly higher "speed of light" more properly stated as the rate of induction through the aether.
Just to let you know "standard model" cosmology and geology is a joke. An endless series of clueless assumptions that lead to a ridiculous conclusion.

just out of intrigue, do you think the Events in Revelation Chapter 12, take place before the Creation of the Garden, or, it falls somewhere around how most of Revelation will take place, later, but before the Second Coming?
And, if you think Later, is it relative to when it happens and then a few years later, Armageddon, takes place?

So it is your belief that Adam and Eve had other children that spread out into the world, and had families, etc, all before Cain killed his brother?
That is "assuming" as much as my theory assumes. Perhaps more.
Again, look at the timeline given to us in scripture.
"Male and female" created on the 6th day, were told to fill and subdue the earth/sea and all the creatures.
Adam created, then placed in the garden. "Some" time goes by, God sees he needs a mate, creates Eve....
So, either the creation of "male and female" on the 6th day was not the story of Adam and his/Eve's descendants, and it was telling us how "mankind" filled the earth before Adam and Eve were banished from the garden....
Or, the 6th day was a really long day, more than the 24 hours that the "evening and morning" suggest.
Eve being the mother of all living would be true, since everyone was destroyed in the flood, except Noah and family, who were from the seed of Adam. "Mankind" was now gone from the earth. All that were left were of Adam's lineage.
Again, this is not a salvation issue.... simply some thoughts and a theory....

There are NO reliable methods to know the age of the Earth or Universe using science.
I saw an article yrs ago that definitively proved the Earth cannot be more than 10,000 years old, using over 50 proofs. Things like silt build up from the Mississippi River, the moon actually moving a few inches further away every decade, and many other natural processes. I'll try and find it.
But we have no idea the rate of radioactive decay back then. It could have been many times greater than today. And speaking of scientific methods that are THOUGHT to be constant, the speed of light is almost certainly slowing down. It's surprising how few times the speed of light has actually been measured.
So trying to date the Universe by how fast the light of a star travels is useless. Light was likely multiple times faster millennia ago.
But we can actually toss all that out in believing a young Earth.
Do you think Adam was created as an infant? or was he much more likely created as full grown man?
The same could apply to the Earth. God could have created the Earth with a "built in" age to it.
Personally, I'm going to believe Scripture. And the Word says 6 days. That is good enough for me
