The 6000 year old Earth concept comes from Bishop Usher who added up all the geneologies in Genesis which put the creation of the Earth and Adam at 4004 B.C.I don't know where this whole "christians think the world is only 4 thousand years old" thing came from;
Science has a pretty good estimate.but the reality is that there are no specific dates and times as to when our creation, or the creation of life before humans, actually occured.
Actually, we know a global flood did not occur.Just as, we don't know exactly when the, so called fall of man, occurred, or the great flood that covered the earth. We know these things happened.
History has been recorded longer than that. Ancient Egypt existed before that.but before roughly 4500 years ago when history started being recorded, all we have are specutlations. .
