A 2006 car's parts might date back to 2004. NOT 11 million BC.

The form of the car's parts may be as early as 2004. The substance involved in those parts - science does not yet know how old it is.

The primary purpose of the fossil record from God's perspective is most likely to impress upon us the fact of mortality. I mean, what is the common denominator for every single fossil? Death. But to ascribe deceit to God because the appearance of things might be different than they are in reality? What kind of game is that when science doesn't have a way of ascertaining for certain how old matter is, let alone what time is?

You are grasping at straws.

Does this mean you ARE a drunk college sophomore? I'd hate to think about what you would do with the Galactic Linguistic Coincidence of the term "jinantonix."

Seriously, to use a psychobabble rant about the "nature of time" on a science thread is pretty weak. If you have a scientific challenge, present it. If you have a philsophical "if Helen Keller falls in the forest, does she make a sound?" type of discussion, take it to... wait, I don't know where on FR we have a spot for that kind of thing.
