Polarization and beliefs on Creation

[SkyWriting]

For instance, one of my parents absolutely and firmly believes in young-Earth Creationism, while the other is open to the possibility that the Earth could be older than 6,000 years.

Both.
Adam was formed walking and given a wife.

How old is Adam in this story?
Is he "0" or is he in his 20's?

Your one parent says he is "0" years old, the other "20's".
According to the story...both.
