Yep, now I believe. God created us and put fossils in the ground to make us think that the Earth was far older than it is.

Ever think we might be misinterpreting what we see? Or have we always been right on down through the ages? You know, the earth being flat and all?

Did you ever hear of the Scientific Method? Repeatable results? Ring a bell? How many ships sailed off the edge of the flat Earth? Was it repeated? Did anyone at the time use the Scientific Method to finding the actual edge? No. If they had, they would have discovered the Americas and PROVEN the Earth was not flat.

I prefer to believe in the general progression of trigonometry, Cepheid variable stars, Type 1a supernovas to determine the vast distances in space. Since these forms a measurements overlap, you will have to prove to me that basic trigonometry is incorrect. Heck, you can even ignore Type 1a supernova's and we can still tell local galaxies are several million light years away. Like I said before, God would have to be tricking us by placing light from these distant galaxies 6K light years away at the creation of the 6K old universe in order for the light to be hitting us now.
