Please show me where the Bible states this.

Please explain how a "Biblical professional" being wrong equals the Bible being wrong. (Unless you think the Bible states that the first two humans were alive at 4004 BC, in which case, please show me where the Bible states that.)

Did Jesus say the person will always receive the answer they wanted, immediately, and without condition? Please show where.

I would be interested to find out just how much study you've done on what the Bible says about prayer, which never portrays God as a genie lamp we rub using prayer. The "Santa Claus" mentality that your comments appear to indicate about prayer is simply not supported by the biblical texts, which makes me suspect you haven't studied very much at all.
Alright.
1. The bible doesn't state it directly, but if you do add up the times from adam and noah, and the events later as Archbishop Ussher claimed, it is said to be about 9000 years old, and that's pretty much how people like you see it today.
2. We have scientific proof that tells us of human involvement on earth long before Adam and Eve. And in the bible, adam and eve were created 4004BC. Impossible since we have evidence of human existance that dates back even 25000 years BC. Can you disprove that? And you can't tell me that our dating methods have a percent error like 50% or greater, because if that was true, then why would we use them to date? They might be off by a few years, but not off drastically like by 10,0000years to date by radiodecay or by carbon14.
3. Well think of it this way, I never said that because dates are wrong, the bible is wrong, and that date was given from the Archbishop Ussher, which is what most people like you claim to be the actul age that they were "alive."
4. Well, if indeed Jesus Christ was god in the flesh, what stopped him from creating himself? He didn't.
5. Let me list a few:
Matthew 21:21-22
Matthew 7:7-8
Mark 11:24-25
There are a lot more, but I'm not going to read an entire bible just to find them.
6. Ok, then. The bible states indirectly that prayer creates a relationship with God to listen and speak with him. Since Jesus clearly states that prayers will be answered, then why don't people get answers? Any answer? No.
