The earth is as old as God for all we know. The Biblical time line of 6000 years is in reference to the age of man.
Then we can argue about some more interesting stuff instead. I am tired of fundamentalist insistence about things that are not even important to their own religious traditions. Most Christians and Muslims and I assume Jews reached this conclusion long ago and far away.

Proof the Earth is about 6000 years old:

You are SO easily manipulated its surprising you can tie your own shoes which must be hard when you are under 6 feet and weigh over 250 pounds.
I am over 6 feet tall and weight about 218 and am 5 years older. So who led the healthier life, eh?

The first thing is, the sun consumes 4 million tons per second, his first mistake. The second mistake he makes is not doing the math. The sun is 1.99E 30 kilograms or about 1 E27 tons and in 4 billion years will consume about 1 E23 tons of H2, less than 1/5000ths of it's mass in that huge time span. If you don't believe me, look it up yourself, I am not your personal librarian.

Google 'mass of the sun' for starters.
However, if you actually did that you could then come up with yet another BS line about how that is just a theory and more bleat bleat bleat.

Thank you God.

Now, this is what scientist think:
New research suggests that Earth will be swallowed by the Sun owing to tidal interactions. Even if Earth should escape incineration in the Sun, still all its water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere will escape into space. Even during its current life in the main sequence, the Sun is gradually becoming more luminous (about 10% every 1 billion years), and its surface temperature is slowly rising. The Sun used to be fainter in the past, which is possibly the reason life on Earth has only existed for about 1 billion years on land. The increase in solar temperatures is such that in about another billion years the surface of the Earth will likely become too hot for liquid water to exist, ending all terrestrial life. -- Instead of billion, I think that should be thousand.
