Answering "Old" only reflects the way I'm used to think about these things. The older I get myself, the less convinced I am. How do we know anything for sure? I'd like to quote Job, the very verse that I admire:

Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

This verse isn't directly connected with the age of our planet, but I like the idea behind God's questions to Job.

1. I don't believe God would be so petty as to be defined by a religion. I've always considered faith to be a reflection of ones own self inspired vainity. And with that being said, I can say that i believe in God, not religion, therefor I have no religion. I think the real shame is that religion has to be a priority, considering that heaven is supposed to be within thy self, not the church, or mosque, or just whatever.

2. The Book of Enoch says the Earth was swallowed up. People such as Neil Adams say that the earth is growing. However if what some say is true and that the planet Taimat did in fact come into contact with earth as the Book of Enoch woud sudjest, then since this planet Taimat is also said to have been made up of Salt Water, the interaction of the two would support the great flood. This would be so as the gravity of the two planets were intertwined, thus dumping billions of gallons onto the earth. Breaking the techtonic plates by sheer force alone. However at the same time the weight being shifted from one planet to the other would explain the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars as the remaining half of Taimat was cast back out.
