At one point they would try desperately to make the Bible fit in with what science has proven and claim that years in the Bible were lunar months, getting them to somewhere around 50,000 years - yeah, that's realllllllllllllly going to help your cause, 4.5 BILLION versus 50,000. Fail. So they latched on to this vague hypothesis called INTELLIGENT DESIGN, a cop out, which says the universe and everything in it is so incredible that of course the only conclusion one can make is that a grand all knowing sky wizard, God, made it all.
Donny you're a CHRISTIAN, you BELIEVE in the BIBLE, the Jewish Bible and the New Testament. Defend the BIBLE and all that's written in it, it's the basis of EVERYTHING you believe, it is historical fact to you. Dawkins laughs at the Bible. When Dawkins allows that God may exist, he's not talking about your God, or any other God of any religion man has created.
Your arguments are borrowed and specious. Science hasn't yet proven there is no God, it may never prove it BUT what it has proven is that your God, your religion is fantasy, a fairy tale.

Where have I used any of these arguments, Mutt? This post of yours is the very definition of an argument against a straw man: since you don't have a good argument about the things I have ACTUALLY written, you instead project arguments you've heard elsewhere that are similar to this situation. That doesn't work, though, Mutt. That's very anti-intellectual. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's possible you just skimmed what I wrote and are responding to something you THOUGHT I believed based on past interactions with Christians.
Since you brought it up: many Christians do NOT believe the earth is 6,000 years old, or even 50,000 years old. Many Christians, such as me, have no problem with the theory of evolution or a 14 billion year old earth. Creation and evolution do not conflict. I'm a very firm believer in Theistic Evolution, which holds that God created all that exists over a very long period of time. The Bible itself doesn't conflict with this. The original language of Genesis allows for it, and even the Pope of the Catholic Church says the same.
If you'd like to be involved in this discussion, I invite you to go back and read what I've ACTUALLY said, and then respond with arguments that apply. Your above post simply does not.
