You've "always heard that the Earth must be young".
That makes it sound like this is an assertion that you've never actually investigated, but rather that you've simply accepted what someone who claimed some degree of expertise told you was true. And yet you say in your OP title that you accept that the earth is very old.
Anyone who spent time studying cosmology, geology, palaeontology, archaeology and evolutionary biology would come to realise that countless indisputable facts all fit together in such logical, consistent way that the story told in the opening verses of Genesis cannot be anything more than just one of countless creation myths.
However, such an investigation does require effort and some degree of dedication. Most people find it far easier to click Like and Subscribe, continue to put their cash in the collection plate and gulp down whatever guff allows them to believe that Earth is the true centre of the universe, humans are the pinnacle of God's creation and they are vitally important to Him.
Let me rephrase it for you. Growing up, I'd always been told that the Earth is young. I disagree with that, having found out a few facts about the specific word choice in the Bible.
Have you spent time studying cosmology, geology, paleontology, archaeology, and evolutionary biology? Can you link me some studies or articles on the subject so I can get a clearer picture?
I don't think anybody believes that the Earth is the center of the universe.
Also, humanity is not vital to God. He's omnipotent, and to suggest that He needs us for something would contradict that.
Why He uses us, given that fact? No idea, I don't claim to know what motives He has.
I believe in both God, and that the Earth incredibly old

I've never heard of there being a huge Christian flat-earth community. I've just always heard that the Earth must be young.
