*Shrugs*
But I guess people seemingly only note what they want to note.
(And, for the record, I basically repeated my first post because you forgot the part about time being measured differently in God's eyes than in man's eyes.)

I think there has been a misunderstanding, here.
The argument I just gave you for the age of the earth
is not my argument! I do not think that the Earth is 6000 years old. I was only explaining to you why it is that creationists think the Earth is only 6000 years old despite how that number is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, as per your question posed in the first sentence of your post.
If you want a response to your theory that time moves differently for God than for mortal man, that may very well be so but time is still measured in mortal units in the Bible. So, when the Old Testament claims that Adam lived for 900 years, even if those 900 years went by slowly (or quickly, whatever you believe) for God, 900 years still went by. That's the whole point of units of measurement; so that we may measure things regardless of the perceptions of the observer. Consider it a gift from God...
