Age of Earth
Geologists began to suspect that the Earth was older then 6,000 years old because of the different layers of rock. In most of the pictures you can see the different layers of rock and there's probably fossils within those layers on rocks. They could study the fossils and discover the age of those which could also help with the age of the Earth. Also they could analyze the rock to see how old it is. Between looking at the age of fossils and analyzing the rock to see how old it is then geologists may suspect that the Earth was older then 6,000 years.

Okay, but even before geologists had the tools to study fossils or analyze rock, why might they have thought these pictures indicated age?
