Actually, the world being old does contradict the Torah. The Torah lays out dates for when things happened. It says Adam was created on the 6th day, right? If you follow the years of the ages when children were born, you can see that Avraham was born in (I believe) 1948. Yitzchak was born in 2048. We know the Jews went out of Egypt 400 years after Yitzchak was born, so that’s 2448, as was matan Torah. You can follow the years from there to calculate the year we are in now. Saying the world is millions of years old does contradict the Torah.
