Then let God judge it and try minding your own business. "Them that are without, God judgeth."

Would you apply the same to pedophilia?
Homosexuality =/= pedophilia.

Evolutionary biologists' opinions are the standard for whether the earth is young or not?
Wouldn't that be geologists?
You mean people who have a vested interest in toeing the evolutionist line to retain their tenure, etc?
What if they owe someone debt that they cannot pay off right away?
For example, let's say some brat of a kid decides to steal a Rolls Royce and takes it for a joyride, wrecks it, and totals it. He committed theft, and the thing he stole was damaged beyond repair. (Prices for newer model RRs range from $330,000-535,000, well beyond what a teenage brat can afford.) What should the punishment be, according to you?
But it's mine now. Why should I give it back?
There's also corporal punishment (such as flogging) and restitution (slavery would be used only if the restitution amount is insufficient, as a form of restitution itself).
You seem to be conflating the forms of slavery.
Did you know that slavery as punishment for a crime is still legal in the USA? (13th Amendment, look it up)
John 7:24
You should read it.
You mean persons such as yourself?
Even if someone really wanted to be a slave, I would still think it is immoral. They can work for someone, but not being viewed as human seems all kinds of wrong.

Historically slavery did not view the enslaved as subhuman. That was an artifact of the industrial slavery that was especially prominent in the American South and in the Caribbean. Unfortunately we still bear the scars from that designation of the enslaved negro as a lesser form of humanity.
In many cases, historically, the enslaved person voluntarily entered into servitude in order to survive. In Europe and Russia this was the serf, bound to the land owned by another.
Slavery in Asia had different forms.
Geologist generally agree on the earth being 4.5 Billion years old. It also makes sense because astronomers have estimated the universe to be over 13 billion years old.
That isn't how science and scientists work. I am sure that there have been cases of this happening in the past but science is about coming up with the best explanations, no bias.
I would assume his parents would have to pay for the damages (because he is a dependent), which really sucks. They would definitely have to borrow money or go into debt. Hopefully the parents would make him get a job to pitch in but he shouldn't be forced into labor and unable to be free until he has repaid the debt.
I am confused about the point you are trying to make? You should give it back because it is not yours and if you care about human prosperity then it is in your and my best interest to not still things from others.
Well if we take a Biblical approach to this it says that slaves can be beaten (but not killed) with no punishment because they are your property. I have issues with indentured servitude that is besides the point right now.

Do you know what they base those estimates on?
I worked as a professional scientist for 27 years. Did research, was published - the whole shebang.
Science is NOT about coming up with the best explanations, no bias. That is a middle school understanding of science and it's wrong.
Professional science is about writing grant proposals and getting funding for your research.
I believe there are several methods but I will admit I am not a scientist. I am curious to know what field of science you worked in and if your work was biased. I would assume that getting funding helps us get a better understanding of things... but if that isn't the case then how does this process work?
What exactly did you lie about in your published research? Give us a list of your many lies.
