So how old is the earth, out of curiosity ...
I don't know and neither do you. IF we conclude based on the dating methods using radioisotopic dating 4.5 billion years old. IF we conclude based on a Birkeland current there is no way to know the age of anything. I would make the argument that the current state of Science in explaining the universe is out of date. The idea of blackholes, dark energy, inflation, etc and the like are weak ideas.

And yet you are still wrong about the flood. There is evidence in the "book of nature" that invalidates that date.
What you mean like with fossilization? You pretty much need a flood, or something to control the micro environments of dead things, to create the right conditions to fossilize bones. What I find more interesting is the passage of giants in Gen 6, Enoch, etc authored thousands of years before we discovered those fossils.

So 200,000 to 300,000 years ago for "adam" and 152,000 to 234,000 years ago for "eve" ... was there a long time before one of "adam's" ribs was transmogrified into "eve" by god-magic?
Or was "eden" 200,000 to 234,000 years ago? and where was it?
There certainly was no world wide flying fantasy flood since then ... (see Age Correlations and An Old Earth, Version 2 No 1, Message 7 to Message 9). Or is the "book of nature" lying?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Enjoy
I love all the uncertainty in your last point, how exactly are you so confident?
Enjoy

Re: adam, eve, and eden, but no flood ...
Ok. The only life that evolved in a sense on the earth is plant life. It was not random, it was divine in origination. And the limits are divine as well. I don't know where that fits into the terms of micro or macro change but I don't think those ideas fit the image I'm describing. I will say it COULD appear as though it was micro and macro to those who are using Science today. And what I mean by Science is the kinda stuff you can actually observe in a lab.
quote:
11 And God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth. And it was so.
12The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
