One more proof against the “Earth is no more than 10,000 years old” notion.
At some point people should consider:
- either practically everything we honestly observe & deduce is wrong, or
- the one vaguely-established notion requiring the former is itself wrong.
Real science keeps me in awe of the Creator. I find it sad that the universe of Young Earth Creationism, which is required dogma in some churches, has the world as little more than a super-sized Disneyland prop and God is shown as doing illusions like it is all a magic show.
“One more proof against the “Earth is no more than 10,000 years old” notion.”
You say that as if those who believe in a young earth haven’t considered the issue, when they have written a fair amount about it.

Not really. God is entirely capable of creating a universe where photons are already traveling between stars, already exiting the sun, etc. If he chose to do so, God could create a universe, from scratch, that looked identical to today’s world. To include fossils, geology, light halfway between the sun and the earth, etc.
