"Why did he create it with the appearance of great age if it is less than 10,000 years old."

How come God can create Adam with the appearance of age (he wasn't created a baby), but somehow it is trickery or deceit on His part to create the universe with age?

Why is it deception to create Adam ready to survive?

If we were to go back in time and stand next to the 2 minute old Adam, what would be see?

Would he have hair down to his ankles?
lets be real, he would have hair.

Would he have calluses on his feet? Probably not, but he would get them very soon without shoes!

Would he have bacteria in his intestines which are required for digestion of food? Maybe; maybe not.

Would his finger nails be long?

Or would all of these things quickly acquire as he began to live and interact with his environment?

AS to stars and their light;
The speed of light is by no means a constant. Just recently scientists have discovered that it is slowing down. When you are talking 0.000000001 or there abouts difference over time currently it would be hard to notice. However what if the slow down was the bottom of a bell curve? It could have been much faster in times past.

Also when dealing with the stars, their is a verse in Job that suggests that the stars were flung into space by God. If they were flung into space from the area of Earth, would they not have light particles from earth to them, not created particles!

Steven Hawking and Ellis in their book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time. Mention the idea that Earth is the center of the universe seemingly, but they disregard this theory on philosophical principles.

What if we are talking about where marks on the earth and the stars, and Adam; Rather than evidence of oldness?

Could it be possible that the ice cores are misinterpreted? When the 'Krakatoa's' (I can't spell it)volcano in south Asia erupted there was a dramatic drop in temperature and Europe and America record a summer with out a temperature over 50 degrees. Could that show a difference in the ice cores, a result of changes in environment?

Lastly and I will definitely give over the floor.

In addition to all the great things posted on this blog regarding the accuracy of scripture and the authors belief in those same scriptures as true;

Sin caused death, not spiritual death, but death of any kind, according to Romans 5. With out that sin and death, Christ himself would not be required. Salvation it self is in question if we spiritualize the age of the earth.

Jesus did not doubt that he had created in 6 literal 24 hour periods. Why are we doubting that because we do not know how to evaluate the evidence of science. The problem with science is not the facts, but the presuppositions and conclusions.
