When I was being raised as a young earth creationist, the earth was supposedly 12,000-20,000 years old. Then it was 10,000 years old. Then only 6,000. After I outgrew that nonsense, I joked that in a few decades YECs would say that their god created the earth in 1980, and anyone older than 40 are agents of the devil sent to test your faith.

Of course, the universe was actually created in 1970 and anyone claiming to be older than 54 is an agent of Microsoft sent to test your faith in Unix.

Earth will be created in 2036. This is just a rehearsal.

The Earth was created on January 1st, 1970 and will end on January 19th, 2038.

We're doing the extra-silly speedthrough right now. Next time will be much more comprehensible.

"After extensive beta testing we have decided to shelve this project. It just wasn't working."

All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

I was also raised as a young earth creationist and it was always 6k years old for me but I could not begin to tell you why.

The 6,000 years comes from the lineage of Jesus as set down in the Bible with names and ages of those in his genetic line.
