The Bible doesn't give an age or a date, but provides information that has been reasonably used to draw that conclusion.

The scientific method assumes that miracles do not exist and insists that evidence be interpreted without the possibility of supernatural explanations. With the constraint of not allowing for supernatural explanations, it is not unreasonable to conclude from the physical evidence that the earth and universe are much older.
