Answers in Genesis is an organization founded by Pastor Ken Ham, which describes how the Holy Bible is the Word of God, and so it is true. They have employed scientists to assist in proving the truth of the Bible, and their final product is very persuasive.
Consider how in biology class, we were all told not to start with the starting point of something about human history or the planet Earth from any religion, because “that’s all mythology“. The argument was that we need to use the scientific method of our own observation and testability to understand nature. The problem is that Judaism, and its successor Christianity, are true and so they are not mythologies! See Data Point One.
Jesus, as God, was at the beginning of the Creation, in the person of The Creator. Conversation with Jesus is possible with devout Christians, often priests, monks, nuns, and various ministers, although any layperson can converse with God the Father or Jesus. Jesus revealed to various people in recent centuries, in this particular case, Sister Luisa Piccarreta, a 19th Century nun, that every 2,000 years God renews the Earth. At the first 2,000 year mark, we had the great flood with Noah and the Ark being a fresh start for Earth. Things had grown so evil and corrupt, that God chose to start over. At the next 2,000 year mark, God introduced his Son Jesus to reconcile Humanity with Him. These are paraphrases, but that’s the gist of how He explained it. That makes Earth approximately 6,000 years old.*
In the 19th century theories began to become discussed that Earth must be millions or billions of years old. These theories then began to become propagated. It started as a theory and now it’s been repeated so many times, people forget that it’s only an idea, and consider it to be perfectly reasonable. The people who state this as fact don’t believe they are lying; they believe they are providing a reasonable science-based perspective.
The book of Genesis was given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. The stories that it tells must be true, and so we learn that God created the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the stars, and all life in six days, by thinking it into existence, and He saw that all He created was very good. Reference Genesis 1:31. Theories that go against this go against the truth of God, and are thereby unsound.
On the flip side, true science is a study of the marvelous nature of God’s creations.
* What happens at the 6,000 year mark? Why, that would be the Second Coming of Jesus, although there is some question if that is technically at the 6,000 year mark or if it might be the year 6,007. And, what follows is a 1,000 year period of time without any evil, before the last judgment and the true purging of all evil.

From Jesus to Sister Luisa Piccarreta – “Every two thousand years I have renewed the world. In the first two thousand years I renewed it with the Deluge; in the second two thousand I renewed it with My coming upon earth when I manifested My Humanity… Now we are around the third two thousand years, and there will be a third renewal.”
