I’m a 7 day literal creationist, and I think the universe is 14 billion years old.

Einstein talked about the Twin Paradox
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox
wherein a twin on earth hops into his lightspeed spaceship, travels at the speed of light for a year and returns to find his twin has aged 100 years in that same time.

God breathed the universe into being 14 billion years ago, zipped around on His FASTER than light spaceship for 7 days, and an observer who woulda been on earth at the time sees 14billion years pass by.

It’s all been verified by science by accelerating subatomic particles to almost the speed of light and they live a thousand times longer than unaccelerated particles.

...zipped around on His FASTER than light spaceship for 7 days,...

Why? He's omnipresent.

I'm a young earth creationist too, but I have to say, Captain Kirk kind of eviscerated at least part of your hypothesis in Star Trek V:

My thoughts:

• God is a aspect of the universe, incorporeal and unbounded by space and time.

• The creation story is not literal (”seven days”) but is meant to relate a vision of the universe to a simple people.

• The Big Bang is part of an unimaginably long cycle; explosion, dispersal, regathering, explosion.

• Humankind is not equipped to understand the Being of God, but may perceive His nature.

• God’s love is like a gravitational force, except that it does not compel, it summons.

• God’s presence is as near as your willingness to perceive it.
