Do people usually speak in absolutes, though? I RARELY, if ever, mean all  figured it was just understood. Imagine how tedious it'd be to qualify every statement, or having to read someone else do it.

FTN.

I actually have a friend who does this instinctually, like a nervous tic: "That guy's a great drummer ... I mean, not saying he's the best drummer ever, or that some other drummer isn't better, just, you know ..."

I want to slap him every time.


Hence my use of that "smilie" thing.   ;D

How old is the earth? Short answer: depends on your intelligence.

not what the bible says though

The 6,000 yrs figure was from some bible scholar , Bishop Usher?

The bible doesn't provide an actual number of years.

GOD has a 7000 year plan, 2000 from Adam to Noah, 2000 from Noah to Jesus, 2000 from Jesus to the millennial reign of Christ on Earth. We should be at 6000 years very soon so Christ reign should be very soon.

just out of curiosity why does it matter how old the earth is. We are here for 70 or 80 years and then gone. Why give a shit how old it is. Not gonna have an impact on your life

My guess is that you will find a serious correlation between

1) people who dropped out of high school or barely finished, and
2) people that believe the universe is only 6,000 years old.

You rarely meet a person with a Bachelors degree that will proudly say people and dinos used to be frolicking while Noah built his ark to fill with 2 of each animal. 

That's not a guess, that is the fact which has been proved by science. And to see it yourself, all you have to do is compare the IQ of different nations. If IQ is high, there is lot of atheists and high tech, if IQ is low, there is lot of religious bigots and low tech. Highest IQs are in Asian countries, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, where religion is quite different than in the Europe or in the USA. Lowest IQs comes from African countries, where Islam rules everything and people lives in the clay huts. Scientist have made this comparison and find out, that it is a fact. Higher IQ = less religious people, and other way around. It is quite easy to understand, because the less you can comprehend with your own intelligence, the more you are dependent to beliefs. This is proved also by the foil hat morons, who are able to believe all kind of crap no matter if it is possible in this universe or not, and they have been proved to be the most stupid part of human kind  ;D
