Answer 1

I believe Muslims think the Earth and Universe were created before Allah (God) created Adam. While no specific date or age is listed, the fact that the Earth is likely around 4 or 5 billion years old makes sense and fits with the Islamic perspective of the Adam and Eve story.

Answer 2

While Muslims are not as vocal about this particular issue as Christians are (primarily because many Muslims are perfectly fine with learning evolution to tick boxes but not actually having to believe it), it is Islamic Doctrine that world is only a few thousand years old. Islam does not ascribe to the Theory of Evolution or the idea of Old Earth. In Turkey, the most liberal Muslim-majority country (aside from possibly Albania), survey respodents have majoritarily denied the validity of both the Theory of Evolution and Old Earth. Muslims in the former Soviet Union are typically more open to these Theories due to strength and culture-washing nature of the Soviet Union.
