So, in effect, as I understand it, that would be because old age is assumed?
No, old age is supported by the evidence. Why do we have to keep going over the difference between "supported theories" and "assumptions". Go into the Dates and Dating forum and choose a topic, or start one on your own. You will quickly find that the old age of the earth is not simply assumed but a consequence of volumes of data, none of which support a young earth. The only assumption I see is that evidence for a young earth exists.

And, also, in assuming, rather than a created earth, we are results of some expansion, out of the region of the speck. (early big bang)
Again, this is not assumed but bore out of supported theories. Supported theories are not assumptions.

All that to say, the evidence that led them to their conclusions seems thin.
No matter how thin it is, it is still more evidence than you have offered for a gold covered diamond gyro surrounded by water in the center of the earth. Thin is a hell of a lot better than totally absent.

Can I possibly put a band, or cover of gold all around our diamond gyro? Say, somewhere around the area between the inner mantle, and the "core", or diamond, without getting out of 'the possible'?
No, because you have not given evidence that would support it's existence. I am not going to consider your model until you give me specific evidence, specific predictions, and specific models of how it would work.
