Nope. Sorry. The Creation was not that far in the past. So, NOTHING could have happened 70,000 years ago! Science proves it!
Some clear night soon, go outside and look up. Count the stars.
What you see CANNOT be farther away than the age of the universe, because the light from something cannot take longer to travel from there to here than the universe is old.
That means EVERY STAR must be no more than 10,000 (or whatever age-of-the-universe you claim) light-years away.
Apply what we objectively KNOW about how the universe works (gravity, electromagnetic fields, mechanical physics, etc - all within at least a certain range of absolute certainty).
The result is: the universe we see CANNOT FIT in a 10,000 year old universe.
Remember, 10,000 years is just 100 hundred-year lifespans back-to-back. That ain’t much.
The only “solution” you could provide is “well, God created the light from those stars already traveling toward us” and “God created fossils that _look_ millions of years old to test our faith”.
I reject that, as that would require God lie - creating an illusion of what is when it absolutely isn’t.
So how do you explain a galaxy being 25 MILLION Light Years away? Do you think that's not possible? We see it, which means what we are looking at happened 25 million years ago.
To not offend you, I'll refrain from commenting further....
I knew a member at my church years ago who worked at Caltech.
He demanded to know if I thought God was incapable of creating the light from distant stars on its way to earth and thus only give the appearance of immense age. Same thing with the geologic record on Earth, which evidences eons of time having passed
“Of course God can do that,” I told him. “But why would He?”
The fellow was non-plussed. The discussion had apparently never turned to that previously.
Relax. Your faith does not hinge on that which we cannot understand.
