but where does anyone get 10,000 yrs?
Well, It's generally accepted that Jesus lived 2,000 years ago, and by going through the geneolegies given in several parts of the Bible (such as the ancestry of Noah in Genesis right back to Adam or the ancestry of Joseph given in Matthew), then the time of the Creation would work out to about 4,000 years before the time of Jesus or 6,000 years ago from today. For the record, over a third of the US population believes that the Earth is "only" this old.
