I do not believe the earth is 4.55 billion years old - I know that it is older than 40-50,000 years, but that is all. I am some years into being a geocentrist, and there is a lot of good evidence provided by the young-earthers that the earth is young. Not just young-earthers, some secular writers, such as Richard Milton (Shattering the myths of Darwinism) - suggest that the earth is young.Me too. I believe 100% of all the words literally. But we are also both less than God, and do not have omniscience.
The reason God did not say "and Earth is 4.55 billion years old" is that would be easy proof of God, once we found evidence, and that would preclude, preempt faith.
You have knowledge instead of faith to know you have a car, because you can look and see it right there. Evidence precludes faith.
Faith is of course believing without proof (even those of us that do get personal proof must first have faith beforehand).
But from scripture we know that faith is required of us, and faith is a main goal and aim for us to arrive at.
So easy proof would contradict most all of the Bible, by precluding faith.
God did not explain the time gaps to Moses because we do not need to know them for faith.

IMHO coal is not formed according to the uniformitarian scenario, but is the result of the deluge.
