The universe is approximately 6000 years old (the Adamic age plus creation week from God's point of view as observer) - and is also approximately 15 billion years old from our space/time coordinates as observer.

This is a variation on the assertion that God created the universe with an apparant history. To which, I ask, what is the point of planting false evidence? I cringe at the thought of a creator authorizing a document as innerant, but producing a universe that belies the document.

I will not accept the assertion that ancient people were too ignorant to understand the simple truth about the age of the universe. Other ancient cultures managed to come within an order of magnitude of the age of the earth. They were also closer to expressing quantum particle/wave duality. This doesn't mean they were scientifice, and it doesn't prove they were visited by alien encyclopedia salesmen, but it demonstrates that ancient people were smart enough to deal with large truths.

so why would the "revealed" number differ from the number obtained by research?

Thank you so much for your post!

It is based on Physics and Scriptures. If you really want to know more you can find it at Freeper Views on Origins

In addition to the link I just gave you, you might find this link helpful. It uses animations to explain the spacetime wheel and Lorentz boost.
