The most accurate way to guess at the age of the earth is the radioactive decay rate. According to that the age of the earth is 4.5 billion years. Some pseudo-scientists claim that the rate isn’t constant so that number can’t be accurate. Well, if the decay rate isn’t constant, though it is, and it increased enough to produce 4.5 billion years of apparent aging in only 6,000 years, then the earth would have been molten. No Garden of Eden, just scorching hot death to greet the happy couple. And it would probably have to remain that way for a while. Definitely no animal or plant life could survive.
