Theres the possibility that it's younger. We could be like, moments old, and everything could be taking place all at the same time.
hmm, Something to think about.

Its a marker in time that brings us to that age. The universe is older the present age of man is not so old. The Eden in the bible happens after the great flood.
Most old cultures know. This is the fourth age of man.

There is no scientific merit that the universe is a simulation or hologram. That would be just another creation myth.
This idea is only popular again since known fraudster and pyramid scheme operator Elon Musk said it was, presumably after one of his pot smoking sessions.

If you believe in God, then anything is possible.
So yes, the entire universe could have been created 6,000 years ago. If a scientist tested a rock for age one day after it was created by God, do you believe it would test as one day old, or 2 billion years old?

Ya know it's just like the guy who discovered Binary, it was in like 1943, around that date.
The strange thing is now they are saying, everything in the universe, is written in binary.

Scientists Find First Observed Evidence That Our Universe May Be a Hologram
Physicists finds evidence from just after the Big Bang that supports the controversial holographic universe theory.

Although not an example with holographic properties, it could be thought of as rather like watching a 3D film in a cinema. We see the pictures as having height, width and crucially, depth -- when in fact it all originates from a flat 2D screen. The difference, in our 3D universe, is that we can touch objects and the 'projection' is 'real' from our perspective. In recent decades, advances in telescopes and sensing equipment have allowed scientists to detect a vast amount of data hidden in the 'white noise' or microwaves (partly responsible for the random black and white dots you see on an un-tuned TV) left over from the moment the universe was created. Using this information, the team were able to make complex comparisons between networks of features in the data and quantum field theory. They found that some of the simplest quantum field theories could explain nearly all cosmological observations of the early universe.
Professor Skenderis comments: "Holography is a huge leap forward in the way we think about the structure and creation of the universe. Einstein's theory of general relativity explains almost everything large scale in the universe very well, but starts to unravel when examining its origins and mechanisms at quantum level. Scientists have been working for decades to combine Einstein's theory of gravity and quantum theory. Some believe the concept of a holographic universe has the potential to reconcile the two. I hope our research takes us another step towards this."

No i don't believe it for a second. Even if timescales are wrong, complex life takes far longer to evolve than 6'000 years.
Another consideration, Voyager left in 1977 and is literally only just out of the Solar System - one of millions in our one galaxy alone. So, in 40 years, we have just shut our front door behind us and haven't even entered the street yet.

Sorry but it's either 6000 or 14.5 billion, what's 10 billion give or take.
10 billion is twice the current age of planet earth, give or take

How do you come up with 4.5 billion when everyone else says 14.5 Billion or 13.5 Billion

I'm a protestant Christian. I read the Bible. I believe in God.
Even I know the universe is more than 6000 year old. Literal translation of the Bible is a phenomenon that is no more than 200 years old. Prior to that, people had the common sense to understand that the Old Testament was based on oral tradition & allegories. Many people still do.
