Yes......because it is Scientifically incorrect and we will fall further behind the rest of the world in education/science and math if we teach ideas that we know to be false.

Mission accomplished, that is the reality today. Why? Because we award failure. If little Johnny can't add 2 + 2, we give him a gold star anyways because if he is the only kid without a gold star his feelings will be hurt.
Treating every kid as a winner every time maybe fine for the Special Olympics, but for the other 99% it cheats them of the discipline necessary to succeed in life.
Remember, I'm only speaking to the amount of time Homo sapiens has been in existence, not the planet itself. Anything that happened before then is immaterial.

What's immaterial is that comment. Go ahead, I'll sit back and wait while you re-read the title of this thread. It doesn't say anything about the origin of Homo sapiens; it asks about the origin of the Earth itself. And an Earth that only came into being 6,000 years ago--it's hard to imagine anything more ridiculous.
And I didn't suggest that the Earth itself was only 6000 years, but that human history was only 6000 years. What went on before human history began is what is immaterial.
I'am worried about how this belief system relates to academia.
There have been allegations of purposeful mis-handling of archaelogical finds in the past that would have proved not only is man-kind is very old species but, that man was/has been very technologically advanced in the past.
These finds have been allegedly hidden forever or destroyed.
Why would anyone want to alter history?
There's been another great find, it's located off the coast of Cuba. Divers have located a massive sunken city with astounding architectural construction very un-primitive 8+ story construction.
Wonder how will this find fit into the 6,000 year old earth model?
No, the truth is not harmful. Man was advanced from the beginning of creation. God created man fully formed, fully aware. It is evolution that thinks man is a glorified chimp. So, a creation model fits with the idea that man was more civilized in the past. More intelligent in the past.
It is the evolutionists or people who believe in an earth with a long age that are detrimental to science. Because there is no evidence to support their belief system. That is detrimental because science is based on the empirical. Studying things in the present. Performing tests in the present. Not making up stories of the past like evolution does. At least with the bible God was there in the begining and was able to tell man what happened. This is how we got Genesis in the bible.

Some comments on yours:
√ How can any belief or curiosity be detrimental to "science"? Do you have any idea what the definition of "science" is, NIKK? I fear not. Certainly you do not espouse a working knowledge of the scientific toolbox, it's purposes and achievements. Nor it's overall reliability.
√ No evidence you say? You say this from a position of complete ignorance and stubborness, absent any factual support. Science is rife with edvidence, and you know it. Your approach of out-yelling the far more educated opposition is invalid.
√ It's obviously more than possible to use evidence in the present to conclude things in the past. A dead body in the hallway with a bullet in the brain pretty much indicates the victim died from a gunshot wound from a fired gun. In the past.
You disagree solely because you have to, and, idiotically, on the basis that no-one was there to watch it. But some things are more than obvious, and your tired excuses to try to deny evidence in hand are beyond futile.
√ You apparently like the bible's simplistic but unsupportable fairy tales because "at least" the story covers all the bases. Incorrectly and fictitiously, loaded with contradictions and errors, but it's complete, if unbelievable. But it's always been true that uneducated kids love a nice tidy story with a happy ending, even if it's just a Santa Claus tale.
√ Since the blur of ancient history has been carefully and thoroughly reviewed and clarified by intense biblical, archeological and scientific studies, we've found more than enough evidence to at least be concerned about it's absolutely being The One Truth.
Not to mention the complete absence of the biblical events in other, more accurate historical descriptions, such as those provided in great detail, with dates, by the Chinese and Japanese. Damned Asians, huh? Well, let's just ignore them, OK?
√ Fact: there's more than enoughevidence to outclass the silly notion there's some supernatural entity out there making the impossible happen, all while we dismiss or ignore facts at hand.
