Just remember to count for the production of heavy elements which evidently has taken two or three stellar generations prior to the formation of the Sun for them to have formed and been incorporated in the Earth.

A younger universe theory needs to account for this beyond the idea that God just snapped his “finger” and made it happen. Research into the processes that gave us nuclear weapons indicate this scenario is simply not so.

Really? Who do you think God is? He is outside of time. Time means literally nothing to Him. When He made the earth was there a black sky or were there stars in the night? Light that would have had to have traveled years to get here. Were the animals fully formed or were they embryos? Was it deception on His part for carbon-14 decay or were there other environmental forces at work? Who resurrected a 2007 post anyways?

Actually, that is stupid. Once we postulate a “God” who can create matter out of nothing, by definition that God could create the heavy elements yesterday, or 10,000 years ago, or 1 million years ago. He could create differing decomposition elements to provide a simulation of any age he desired.

Heck, we could create a rock with any apparent age we wanted — we have the technology. So to suggest that an all-powerful God couldn’t do so is just absurd.

IF you want to argue that there IS no such God, then argue it. But don’t try to suggest that the “problem” of heavy elements can’t be solved by postulating that all-powerful God.
