"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void. And darkness was upon the face of the deep." The Septuagint Bible, and Josephus (34-101AD) agree that the earth is only 7500 years old from our time. The reason why science is all mixed up is, the time between the actual "Pop!" of the heavens and the earth into existence, and the time of the beginning of the first day, had parts of physics floating around, all mixed up, and not in their present settled state. Scientists see the parts, and don't realize that it is parts they are looking at, and try to apply modern whole physics to the movement of the parts. Doesn't work. Even the physics before the Great Flood of Noah's day about 6000 years ago was different enough to mess with their understanding.
