You are not alone in that assessment, but I am afraid I think that is not very likely to be true. The universe at least appears to be far older. I can suppose it true that God simply created it 6000 years ago so that it would simply look older than it is. But why would He? Its not like He has to wait around and be patient. He can create it with a back story like an author writing a book. Everything that He created had an appearance of age. Consider Adam. When Adam was created he probably looked like a 20 something year old man. There are many people who believe God could not "fool" us with an appearance of age in the size of the universe but they are not thinking right. God's word trumps what our science says.

Modern science itself was started when some very brilliant Christians expected creation to be comprehensible...as Rene Descartes pointed out in his Medatations: because God is no deceiver.
