I am a Bible-believing Christian - and the Bible teaches that the earth is OLD. Jesus and Paul taught that the Christian age - now at 2000 years - would be the "last days" compared to the sweep of human history. OT prophets called the earth "ancient" and used the age of the earth as a metaphor for the eternity of God. Genesis 2:4 in the more literal translations (the NRSV brings out the nuance wonderfully) says that the creation "days" were symbolic of the "generations of heaven and earth."
Young Earth Creationism is a product of the Seventh Day Adventist Church - the same folks who said Christ would return in 1844, spun off the Jehovah's Witnesses, and condemned Sunday worship as the mark of the Beast. It is utterly foreign to historical Biblical teaching. Its effect in groups like the BBFI and the PCA has been devestating - literally MILLIONS of people have been persuaded that the Gospel is false because modern science "disproves" the Bible. Churches have expelled honest, God-fearing people who wouldn't lie about their beliefs and about what the Bible really taught. All the while, people have laughed at and ridiculed Christians, assuming that evolution and atheism were true just because the earth was old.
Christian, you will know them by their fruits. Young Earth Creationism is bad fruit. If you want to dispute Darwin, read honest books like Darwin's Black Box by Michael Behe or Darwin on Trial by Phillip Johnson. Steer clear of hucksters like Baugh.
