Absolutely nothing to even remotely suggest a young Earth. On the other hand-Everything I'm aware of within the scope of my scientific knowledge suggests the opposite.
There's a very rare book written by Isaac Asimov called: Beginnings; the story of origins.
This is the greatest book I know of for the laity. He offers fantastic and extremely interesting brief treatments of just about all achieved human knowledge. The beauty is he does so chronologically with our primitive beliefs and the basis for them. The book concludes with treatments on modern cosmology, biology, history, geology and evolutionary biology and genetics.
Example in biology and EVO/ genetics: You'll learn about heredity from Mendel's pea plants up though Harold Urey and Sydney Fox's modern synthesis. You'll start with Darwin and A.R. Wallace and conclude with Crick/Watson's DNA and how it unified biology with observed mutations. Also covers Stanley Miller's famous experiment and even things like the Drake Equation.
Layperson: You have my word. Go find this book and you'll feel as if your knowledge doubled.
Professional Scientist: See above. You'll be delighted having so much varied information fresh again. You'll remember why you bought that first Darwin fish t-shirt.
I promise all..You'll thank me for this gem.
