The Bible do not make sense. The more you read it the more you'll be convinced that its all bull shit.
There is a saying among atheist (paraphrased) "The road to atheism is through the bible" or "Only atheists have read the Bible cover to cover."
Hang on, bruh… you tryna tell me the earth isn’t 5,000 years old?
Where exactly in the bible does it point out how old the earth is?

It doesn't say. The number comes from adding up all the dates in it. Which is not something I have studied so I am not sure how they resolve all the little problems like the period of slavery being given two different durations or the two different chronologies from David to Jesus in Luke and Matthew.
Don't try the allegorical approach. It was not allegorical for people who wrote the Bible.

It's from Genesis. Scroll down to "Ussher's Methods" in the following link.
