Heads up for you kid.
You need to first prove that the universe is only 6000 years old before you try to attack evolution.
And given that EVERY field of scientific endeavour supports an old universe,
wellll... good luck with that
Since I don't believe the universe is only 6,000 years old, you're using the wrong rebuttal with me. According to Bible chronology, humans have existed about 6,000 years. Notice I bolded the word "humans." Nobody knows the age of the universe. It's most logically billions of years old.
You fail bigtime kid.
Using the bible to support the bible will get you nowhere fast here.
Ps your bible says that god created the universe a few days before he created humans.
Or are you saying that the bible is in error?
Not only does Bible chronology date human existence to only about 6,000 years, but written human history that has no connection with the Bible (secular history) only goes back about 5,500 years. In other words, secular history doesn't help your case for the age of man's existence.

The fragments of pottery are about 5,500 years old
Exclusive by BBC News Online Science Editor Dr David Whitehouse
The first known examples of writing may have been unearthed at an archaeological dig in Pakistan.
So-called 'plant-like' and 'trident-shaped' markings have been found on fragments of pottery dating back 5500 years.
They were found at a site called Harappa in the region where the great Harappan or Indus civilisation flourished four and a half thousand years ago.
Harappa was originally a small settlement in 3500 BC but by 2600 BC it had developed into a major urban centre.
The earliest known writing was etched onto jars before and after firing. Experts believe they may have indicated the contents of the jar or be signs associated with a deity.
According to Dr Richard Meadow of Harvard University, the director of the Harappa Archaeological Research Project, these primitive inscriptions found on pottery may pre-date all other known writing.

I Will address the other part of your rebuttal in another post.
