It would be very surprising if science supports a young earth, but if science really did support this I would advocate acceptance of the evidence. However, the scientific evidence is that the world is approximately 4.54 billion years old. That is young compared to the age of the universe, but old compared to some religious views.
There are, of course, those who would like science to support a young earth. Phillip E. Johnson, was a professor of law, and therefore unlikely to have had a strong understanding of the Earth Sciences, but his strong religious beliefs caused him to found the 'intelligent design' movement that makes claims in support of a young earth.

∙ 9y agoIt is unacceptable to those who do not wish to accept it. Evidence for a young age of the Earth is not publicized. "Most professors continue to teach evolution in the universities, out of fear," explains Dr. Phillip E. Johnson, retired professor of law at the University of California Berkeley. "This fear is that of not being tenured, of not getting research grants, of not being published, and of not being accepted by their peers. They must follow the party line, which is evolution. This is how the academic game is played."

What is Young Earth creationism?
== == Young Earth Creationism is one of two streams into which Creationism can be divided (the other being Old Earth Creationism which also accepts a divine creator, but agrees with mainstream science that the scientific evidence points to the world being immensely old and that species have evolved through the process of evolution). Young Earth Creationism is a world-view that interprets scientific evidence based on a literal or semi-literal reading of the Biblical book of Genesis and thus teaches that the world is only about 6,000 years old. Young Earth Creationists believe that living things were created by God much as we know them today and that the various species have diversified within the genetic pool of their original kind.
