Assuming one of God's days is about two billion of our years long and with modern science placing the age of the universe at 13.8 billon years and the earth at about 4.5 billion years the math comes fairly close to giving credence to both beliefs. The scientific estimated age of the universe comes from the Big Bang Theory which is just that, a theory which I have my doubts about. Also, several Christian ministries promote the idea that the earth is less than 10,000 years old, which they say comes from the Bible. In reality though, the Bible makes no claim as to the age of the earth or the universe.
2 Peter ch3 verse 8

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
