God left Uranium that’s only 6,000 years old but looks like it’s been there for 4.5 billion years as a practical joke?

Assumptions are:

1. The primordial ratio of mother-daughter element can be known. It can’t.

2. The rate of radioactive decay has remained constant.

The first assumption is the one that causes some of the wild variations we see in radiometric dating.

The second assumption has been falsified.

Was Adam created with the appearance of age?

Maybe. It’s more likely that you’re not very good at telling how old stuff is.
