you believe...
i believe you have a wonderful story.
i believe we have a fossil record that can be carbon dated. much more than 6000 years.

Mathuselah lived for 969 years and died the year of the Flood. At the year of the Flood Noah was 600 yrs old. Noah lived to the year 2006 BC His 3 sons Shem,Ham,Japeth (who would have heard the creation story as well from methuselah) and family continued the repopulation of the world after the Flood. Abram was born in the year 2008BC Chances are better than average that he would have known Shem,Ham or Japheth and heard the account of creation from them. Isaac was born in the year 2108BC when Abraham was 100yrs old. Abraham lived to the year 2183. Isaac died in 2315BC had a son named Jacob, Jacob was born the year 2168 and would have known his grandpa Abraham would would have passed the story of creation on to Jacob. Jacob would have been 15 years old when Abraham died. Jacob had a son named Joseph who was born 2259BC and died 2369BC who would have known Isaac and heard the story from him. At this time there was a Famine in the Land and Joseph rose to become Pharoah's Viceroy. Joseph brought the Jews to Egypt and God changed Jacob's name to Israel. Moses was born in 2433 64 years after the death of Joseph.

At that time the Jew's population grew so large that the egyptians feared them. Moses Wrote the 5 books of Torah towards the end of his life and would have known the story of creation from the decendants of Joseph. From Adam to the birth of Moses there was 2,433 years. the passage of Knowledge of the Creation of the Earth was passed down with overlapping years of offspring the knowledge that he would obtain would be 5th-6th hand knowledge. I hope your still with me i know it might be a bit confusing but here is my point. The accuracy of creation to Moses in my opinion would have been accurate and the Dead sea scrolls are calculated to have been written about 125 BC and AD 68 and the bible today is accurate with the writings of the scrolls. So we would have a Gap about 1300-1400 years from Moses to the Birth of Jesus. When Moses wrote the books of the Torah they would have been the most holy books to the Jewish faith and kept with care and if re-written would be done with 100% accuracy. They took these writings very seriously and would rather die than to miscopy the books. My point is, i believe we have with amazing accuracy an account of Creation told by Adam to his descendants 6000 years ago.

I think the site where you get your info from needs to brush up on how "timelines" work or are presented.
How can Isaac be BORN in 2108 BC and DIE in 2315 BC . . . seems like the biggest flaw (a crucial one) in this opinion is everyone DIES centuries BEFORE they were BORN. Maybe if they studied how time passes a little more they would realize the error in their calculations . . . and their thinking.
The Hebrew calendar (Hebrew: הלוח העברי ha'luach ha'ivri) or Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar used by Jews, the followers of Judaism and in recent decades, by a growing number of Messianic Jews and Christians.
A lunisolar calendar is a calendar in many cultures whose date indicates both the moon phase and the time of the solar year. If the solar year is defined as a tropical year then a lunisolar calendar will give an indication of the season; if it is taken as a sidereal year then the calendar will predict the constellation near which the full moon may occur. Usually there is an additional requirement that the year have a whole number of months, in which case most years have 12 months but every second or third year has 13 months.
The Hebrew, Buddhist, Hellenic, Hindu lunisolar, Tibetan, Chinese (used alone until 1912 and then used along with the Gregorian), and Korean (used alone until 1894 and since used along with the Gregorian) calendars are all lunisolar, as was the Japanese calendar until 1873, the Hawaiian calendar, the pre-Islamic calendar, the republican Roman calendar until 45 BC (in fact earlier, because the synchronization to the moon was lost as well as the synchronization to the sun), the first century Gaulish Coligny calendar, the Byzantine Calendar, and the second millennium BC Babylonian calendar. The Chinese, Coligny and Hebrew[1] lunisolar calendars track more or less the tropical year whereas the Buddhist and Hindu lunisolar calendars track the sidereal year. Therefore, the first three give an idea of the seasons whereas the last two give an idea of the position among the constellations of the full moon. The Tibetan calendar was influenced by both the Chinese and Hindu calendars. The English also used a lunisolar calendar before their conversion to Christianity[citation needed].The twelve-month, thirty-day Hawaiian calendar incorporates the same sophisticated astronomy used by the ancient Polynesians to navigate throughout the Pacific and details when plants should be sown and fish caught. [2]
The Islamic calendar is a lunar, but not a lunisolar calendar because its date is not related to the sun. The Julian and Gregorian Calendars are solar, not lunisolar, because their dates do not indicate the moon phase — however, a lunisolar calendar is used in the determination of the Christian celebration of Easter..
What could be the oldest lunar calendar ever created has been identified on the walls of the famous, prehistoric caves at Lascaux in France.
The interpretation that symbolic paintings, dating back 15,000 years, show the Moon going through its different phases comes from Dr Michael Rappenglueck, of the University of Munich.
The German researcher has previously associated patterns left in the caves with familiar stars and constellations.
He now says groups of dots and squares painted among representations of bulls, antelope and horses depict the 29-day cycle of the Earth's satellite
