A young earth is not the issue, authority is!

Genesis 1 used in the New Testament, examples!
John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:2-3; 1 Timothy 2:13-14;
1 Corinthians 11:8-9; Colossians 3:10; Matthew 19:3-6
God responds to Job: Job 38:1-39:30
It is quite impossible, therefore, for one to reject the historicity and divine authority of the Book of Genesis without undermining, and in effect, repudiating, the authority of the entire Bible. If the first Adam is only an allegory, then by all logic, so is the second Adam. If man did not really fall into sin from his state of created innocency, there is no reason for him to need a Savior. If all things can be accounted for by natural processes of evolution, there is no reason to look forward to a future supernatural consummation of all things. If Genesis is not true, then neither are the testimonies of those prophets and apostles who believed it was true. Jesus Christ Himself becomes a false witness, either a deceiver or one who was deceived, and His testimony concerning His own omniscience and omnipotence becomes blasphemy. Faith in the gospel of Christ for one’s eternal salvation is an empty mockery.
