I am willing to make a couple suggestions to you Husky.
First....pay attention to what Waggler is trying to tell you. Remember what F.Scott Fitzgerald said....“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function"
Next.........in reference to your belief in a 6000 year old Earth, and universe........ There are currently, live trees in Sweden that date to over 8000 years old and one of them dates to over 9500 years. Derived by C14 dating of the live roots. C14 is quite accurate back to about 20,000 years. Beyond that and you need to switch systems..........but C14 has an accuracy of 50-100 years. Essentially nothing when dealing with ages you are talking about.
Also, very near your location is an archeological dig that has unearthed and identified....a molar and skull fragments of a three year old child that dates back to about 11000 years ago. The child was buried in a fire pit in an underground shelter... which were common in Alaska at that time. The associated charcoal remains in the fire pit are a perfect substances for C14 dating, as are the bone fragments. You can see these exhibits at the UAF museum in Fairbanks.
Give some thought to how it is possible for the Earth, our solar system and the universe to be all the same age..roughly.
Even within our own solar system there are a few objects that are three times the age of the sun and our planets. And in the remainder of the universe there are billions more of similar antiquity. I doubt you will believe any of that so here are a couple more sincere suggestions.
Go visit Yellowstone Park. Pay attention to the geology and maybe even talk to a ranger there if there is one that is knowledgeable on the subject. You will find that the current iteration of Yellowstone is the creation of a volcanic eruption 640,000 years ago. This can be dated by the local geology there. Especially a feature known as the Obsidian Cliffs. These are far too old to be dated by C14 method. In this case scientists have used the decay of potassium 40...K40 into its daughter element Argon 40..AR40. AR40 is a "noble" element. It does not decay further. It is stable. Since we can measure the ratio in the existing rock of K40 to AR40.......and we know the rate of decay of K40........we can calculate the age of the original rock formation event.
This eruption is only the latest one at Yellowstone. There have been at least two others that were much larger and much earlier. We can still see much earlier evidence of those events in a line that stretches southwest from Yellowstone ....across Idaho to the Oregon border. We can see a similar thing in the Hawaiian Islands. Those islands were all formed the same way at roughly the same spot. Due to plate tectonics those earlier islands are moving toward Asia until the oldest disappear beneath the surface as the Emperor Sea Mounts......plunging into the Aleutian Trench
So, since you are just 15, rather than suggest a college course in geology I am going to suggest two excellent DVD series that you can very likely get at a library near you.
This one is a decent introduction to the geology in general. The Prof that gives these lectures is very open to questions and will answer you as time permits. You can email him
https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/the-world-s-greatest-geological-wonders-36-spectacular-siteshttps://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/cosmology-the-history-and-nature-of-our-universeThis one will challenge you in a lot of ways. I suspect you will disbelieve a lot of it and some of it will seem like the prof is speaking a foreign language. I would encourage you to watch the whole thing. I think there are 36 lectures. Ignore the math if it gets confusing. The concepts of what we know and how we know it are more important than the math that proves it.
Last thing. Is a book.
African Genesis by Robert Ardrey. Ardrey was educated as a zoologist but spent most of his life as a playwright. Consequently, the book is easy to read and I found it to reveal some amazing insights to the real world of nature and our place in it.
The book is out of print but I'm sure most any library will have it..or a used bookstore in Fairbanks
