So God made everything 6000 (or so) years ago and the Earth in one week?
Yet somehow the mechanics of the universe and geology seems to contradict all of that?
I’m glad I take God far more seriously for this amazing creation, and all of the genius that we can see and for what we unlock everyday. He boiled it down simply for early man to understand like parents describe things to children. The real story is far more glorious and people should rejoice in the fact that it is.

How old did Adam appear to be one second after he was made from dust?
Well and simply stated. God gave us the intelligence we enjoy. We are programmed to be curious, seek answers and compelled to investigate mysteries. It is actually what leads us and attracts us to God by nature (or should). In that endeavor, we have long sought the means and methods of God's creation. The lay person (or scientist) calls it astronomy, physics, biology, etc. (that is a joking dig). But the more we learn about the complexities and perfection of ourselves, the planet, the solar system, the universe, etc. the more amazing the design is. From the timing of molecule coelesence to the speed of light and the mystery of gravity, our existence in itself is a miracle. And the more we learn about it, the more God's creation of all that is finds support.
