By dating the rocks in Earth's ever-changing crust, as well as the rocks in Earth's neighbors, such as the moon and visiting meteorites, scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.

The earth is around 4.5 billion years old. It has been established by scientific method, rediometric analysis. In that perspective claiming that the earth is 6000 years old is totally ridiculous. Even human has been existing for hundreds of thousands years, and human civilization for tens of thousands of years.

Radiometric dating of rocks, coal, dinosaurs, meteorites--all indicate an age greater than 6,000 years. The same science that gives us microwave cooking, cell phones, x-rays, computers, space travel, and nuclear power, is the science that leads to this conclusion.

Archbishop Ussher of Armgah published a paper in 1650 detailing the date of Earth's creation deduced from Biblical record. Since that time, many people now use his and similar works as a basis for their claims of an earth much younger than determined by other processes.

Its hard to say . Time and space affect objects by the speed of the Solar System. They say that people going faster age slower than people going slow. So time frames change with the speed of the solar system. In the beginning the solar system was going so fast that it might be 20 billion years old. By our time frame now Or it could be going so slow that the earth could be 6000 years old. buy our time frame. Stars near the center of the Glaxay are younger than stars on the edge of the galaxy. Because of there speed is almost the speed of light. There are to many varibles to many time frames to know this anwser.

Not directly. It is implied in the lineage of people discussed, and how old those people lived

Yes. There are currently thousands of independent data points and observations which all support the age of the Earth being 4.54 billion years old.
