Even if you found a passage in a bible that said that, 2.2 million years still is way off from the 10 billion + light years away galaxies we see.
2 peter 3:8
and astronomers are constantly refining these estimates. 10 billion is the latest one. Before it was considered much higher until it was discovered that light waves lose energy in a vacuum (redshift). I wonder what other discoveries will be made that show the current estimate to be wrong as well? and anyway i said that number was a basis. Nowhere in the bible does it say how old the earth is. All it does is give you a means of estimation by listing the ages of generations.
also there is an issue with numbers and hebrews in general. They consider 7 and 10 to be perfect therefore 7 heads, 10 horns, 7 days, etc. half of 7 years for the prophets, etc. It's all a multiple of divisor of 7 almost always and 10 the rest of the time. Most scholars agree that "created in 7 days" meant to them "created in the perfect amount of days".
the number of the beast is another example: words in hebrew also could be directly translated to numbers, and the number of the beast could be represented as a name. As it so happens, Nero equals 666. Coincidence?
