5 or 6 thousand years old or younger?
It's calculated from the genealogies in Genesis. If you take the begats seriously, the earth can only be about 6000 years old.

I myself don't buy into that age calculated earth from Genesis theory.
You don't have to buy it. It's not for sale - it's what the Bible says.
There are appropriate topics to discuss that topic - not here.

nore do I put any professional touch on forum posts as if I was writting a book?
Please do.
As it stands, your posts are about 95% incomprehensible.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Please put a lot more effort into expressing yourself clearly.

... I also have a handy cap....
So do I.
I have to work very hard at making my posts. I spend much more time editing than I do writing them. But in the end, nobody complains that they can't understand what I'm trying to say.
Nobody here is criticizing you personally. This is by far the best forum I have ever encountered when it comes to people being willing to help you instead of just criticizing you.
We do have high standards here. We do expect you to take a lot of care with your posts. There are some very smart people here and you can learn a lot from them.
But you have to come here with the right attitude.
I, for one, made quite an effort to understand your posts. I didn't have to do that. In return, I got nothing but abuse.
And yet, I'd rather have you stay than go.
Stay. Take the chip off your shoulder and you'll be able to stand up straighter. Ask questions. Instead of telling people that they don't understand, try to improve your understanding.
Edit every post forty times. Use a spell-checker.
You know you want to stay or you wouldn't still be lurking. Don't let your ego get in the way of enjoying your time here.
