You people still defending Russell Humphreys? Super-rapid evolution after Noah left the ark?
The earth is exceedingly old. The Creator I serve has made it that way.
Agreed. It's like my young adult kids thinking they can enjoy a fancy lifestyle immediately w/o appreciating how long my wife and I took to build up to build up the comfortable lifestyle my kids enjoyed.
The argument is circular. The claim is that time sped up so that millions, nay billions, of years passed in the time of a few modern years. You cannot prove or disprove this because this is what in physics is called a coordinate change. You get a clock where a million years is represented by a second. So you rescale all of your equations to the new clock, up to about 10,000 years ago when you revert back to our ordinary clock. It isn't even a slight of hand. There is no trick at all.
God gave us a universe where the laws of physics can be written in a form that is immutable under such coordinate changes. The number of revolutions around the sun, measured relative to a very distant galaxy is the same, whatever clock you use to tell years. In fact, that is how astronomers used to define a year [now it is so many vibrations of an atomic clock - but that is to indulge pedantry that makes no difference to the present argument]
