When we find fossils on this planet alone dating millions of years in age, and this planet is a mighty young one compared to the universe.

Let's hear it for carbon dating. An extremely accurate measurement. /sarcasm

Try this one on for size (only one of many possibilities). Since God created time along with everything else, why then would God be constrained to start at what we linear time thinking creature see as the beginning. Like the ripples that leave the point of a rock thrown in a lake, God could have created Adam first and all of creation ripple forth from that point. It makes a billion years backward just as real as a billion years forward. Again, since God wants us to believe by faith alone, He may not have felt the need to provide proof. Other possibilities include the facts that since time is warped at speeds approaching that of light, who is to say that time has acted linearly. It is a much higher probability that time has not. Most cosmologist would concede this point, the real arguement is how much. Todays science uses assumptions based quickly on our biases.

Did those fossils have a date stamped on them, who says they're a million years old.

If the fossils were millions of years old, they would be fully depleted of Carbon 14. No fossil has ever been found that has been fully depleted of it's carbon 14.

What Carbon dating reveals about long ages

And you assume that the universe is older than the earth because you assume that the earth evolved. In fact scripture records that the earth was formed first and the stars after.
