Creation stories exist in every religion and indeed every people group. Everyone has a story about the way we got here. These stories are usually analogies or symbolic representations and not literal. Besides the creation story in Genesis, what other parts of the Bible mention that the earth cannot be over 10,000 years old? Why hold to this claim?

It’s an interesting point to insist. What is wagered on not admitting the possibility of a much older earth? Genuinely curious.
