Does that make me a young earth creationists or whatever the label is?

Yes.

I'm curious- why do you think the world was created with the appearance of age?

Well, many within this thread have made many logical arguments about how the creation of geological formations as we understand them occur over vast periods of time. I believe that it would be consistent for God to create stars and planets at various levels of evolution just as I believe God created Adam as a fully mature man rather than an infant. Ultimately the Earth was created at a point in its lifecycle that would be optimal for human habitation.
