The bible was written long ago. They might not have even had a word for 1 billion back then. If you study science then you can clearly see the Earth has been around a very long time.

Trust me they would have found a way to describe it. Just like cultures make up words or phrases to describe things all the time.
Who was around when the earth was that old though? How can they really know the age of the Earth without any type of eyewitnesses or written records of that time period?
Do you believe the Sun revolves around the Earth? Doesn't the bible say the sun revolves around the Earth? Also the bible doesn't really mention human cells and electrons and neutrons? There's also 2 Peter 3:8 where it mentions a day to The One Who Is/"God" is like a 1000 years.
Do you even know much a Centillion is? For all I know that's the entire cosmos could be older than that. Especially if you look at the evidence that is out there. If you look at the shape of our own galaxy it seems to me you should be able to deduce our own galaxy is very very old.
I'm not sure about the bible mentioning that. You're the first to mention it. Sure the Bible doesn't have every single scientific truth. But that doesn't mean that there is not science and world history in it.
Yes! Since God is infinite he is in no way restricted by time as we are. Since he created time he is outside of it. Not sure if the 1000 day to God is to be meant literally or figuratively.
How should you be able to deduce that. If God said he created everything himself and he is all powerful meaning he can pretty much do anything he wants. His creativity is unmatched and infinite. Why is is not plausible to think he could create all the universe in 6 days?
Sometimes we act as if science explains everything. It doesn't explain miracles or morality. But that doesn't mean that there is no evidence for those things. Science is great I love it but it's not God. It can't tell me everything I need to know in order to live life.
So do you admit the bible is wrong or does the sun revolve around the Earth?
I think you can believe in "God" and science. I support prayer and intelligence. If most Christians are about to go over a cliff they will likely press on the brake pedal and maybe also pray. For other things it seems like they only pray.
How does that make the Bible wrong? Which scriptures are you basing the claim about the sun revolving around the earth?
I think you can believe in God and science too but when they are at odds the you have to take God as the ultimate authority which he is.

It doesn't prove the sun revolves around the Earth.
The vantage point is relative. If you were to stand outside all day then it would appear that the sun is moving. Which in those verses it describes this phenomenon. The rising of the sun, sun stood still, etc
If the sun revolves around the earth then the earth's gravitational pull should be much stronger and it should have more mass than the sun in order for the sun or other planets to revolve around it.
