Why does such fossil evidence exist if life on this earth was created " - recently - perhaps ~6000-10000 years ago" ? And where do the many 'tables' of neanderthal fossils fit in to your belief?

I see no cognitive dissonance. The Earth was created perfect, man rebelled, so God's creation began to degenerate. Genetic mutations + bottleneck effects could have easily lead to degenrate forms of "humanity" after the fall. My faith actually expects to see hominid type forms that are not quite human but close.

Whatever,

Huh? Please explain further.

How do you account for the existence of lifeforms that are much older than the 6-10 K range? Was the earth created 10K years ago, or just Man?

Furthermore, you're saying that Man, in his current state, was created first and then degenerated over time. How could such changes occur so quickly? Based on that view, we should have seen significant changes to humans in the last 2000 years or so, but we haven't.
