Who could have made the world looking old. Last Thursday.

Interesting reply. Not original, but interesting.

When I look at the Grand Canyon, I see what a lot of water did in a short period of time. You, forgive my assumption, see what a little bit of water did over a long period of time. So..could we table this topic of the earths age till later?

Please explain how all the items for evolution to occur occured first, in the correct sequence at second, the correct place and third, at the necessary time.

Could you translate that for us English speakers? I honestly have no idea what you were trying to say.

Clue to Starkers, the Grand Canyon is one one-millionth of your difficulties in trying to argue the universe is young. But you want a free pass on that to demand the broomsticks of ten thousand witches.

Please explain how all the items for evolution to occur occured first, in the correct sequence at second, the correct place and third, at the necessary time.

They can't happen in a truly out of sequence fashion where true dependencies exist, can they? Your premise has two problems. One, there are more scenarios than you are willing to learn in which the simple can evolve to the complex. Two, there is more time than you are willing to admit.

Things took as long as they took to get to here. Multiple lines of evidence support the mainstream science version of events regarding the history of life on Earth. Here's a link for you to ignore.

Your problem is the Anthropic Principle. You should work on that. Elevate yourself!

BTW, when I say you're deliberately chosing not to know things, I'm not ad homineming. I'm stating what I know to be true.

When I look at the Grand Canyon, I see what a lot of water did in a short period of time.

This is selective absorption of data and nothing but.

The difficulties in ascribing the Grand Canyon to one big flood. (Fossilized features of tranquil surface life in layer after layer after layer.)

If you went to the Grand Canyon and just saw a hole in the ground, then you missed the important part.

Hike the canyon to the bottom and you will see layer after layer of sedementary rock, thousands and thousands of them, that any third grader should be able to guess took a very long time to lay down.

How long the Canyon took to erode is irrelevant. It's the time it took to build the rock (and the rock below it), that makes talk of a young earth simply laughable.

The idea that God made the earth look old for some purpose is even worse. God isn't a liar.

I'll be glad to, just as soon as you define the terms "the items for evolution to occur", "the correct sequence", "correct place", and "necessary time", as you are using them in this query.

At the moment, your question is incredibly vague, and appears to be built upon several faulty premises.
