It would seem that the only reason for not accepting the latter figure is the need to accommodate evolution? Before the end of the 18th century everyone happily accepted the Biblical timeframe. I am not aware of any evidence against such a young Earth. Anyone care to "enlighten" me?! lol
There's a thread in the Great Debate about this ... and lot's of links
to evidence AGAINST a young earth.
