The following is from Answers in Genesis, so its absurdity shouldn't come as any surprise. The "we" in the thread's title is obviously the choir, so no need to feel included (I doubt there are any AiG choir members here anyway . . . . . . . . . . . . . .are there?).
We Should Not Accept Millions of Years Because:
To give you a hint as to the reasoning in this piece of tripe, here is an explanation of reason number six.
Tee Hee!
Anyway, for a short explanation of the other six reasons see HERE.
.
We Should Not Accept Millions of Years Because:
1. The Bible clearly teaches that God created in six literal, 24-hour days a few thousand years ago.
2. Exodus 20:11 blocks all attempts to fit millions of years into Genesis 1.
3. Noah’s Flood washes away millions of years.
4. Jesus was a young-earth creationist.
5. Belief in millions of years undermines the Bible’s teaching on death and on the character of God.
6. The idea of millions of years did not come from the scientific facts.
7. Radiometric dating methods do not prove millions of years.
Conclusion
These are just some of the reasons why we believe that the Bible is giving us the true history of the creation. God’s Word must be the final authority on all matters about which it speaks: not just the moral and spiritual matters, but also its teachings that bear on history, archeology, and science.

6. The idea of millions of years did not come from the scientific facts.
"It was developed by deistic and atheistic geologists in the late 18th and early 19th century. These men used anti-biblical philosophical and religious assumptions to interpret the geological observations in a way that plainly contradicted the biblical account of Creation, the Flood, and the age of the earth. Most church leaders and scholars quickly compromised using the gap theory, day-age view, local flood view, and so on. to try to fit “deep time” into the Bible. But they did not understand the geological arguments, nor did they defend their views by careful Bible study. The “deep time” idea flows out of naturalistic assumptions, not scientific observations."
