The one thing that keeps rattling around in my head is the fact that people seem to ignore the distinct possibility, and I say it's a probability, that God made the earth old from the start. There seems to be an assumption that the earth had to go through all that time for there to be canyons, like the Grand Canyon, and various other geological formations. They say it had to take millions of years for this and that to happen, etc., but who is man to say that the earth could not be created at once in it's present form? Who says it had to go through 4 billion years real time?

God couldn't make earth to be that old geologically in an instant? Science seems to say no. I say that is exactly what God did. Earth didn't go through billions of years of development. God made it this "old", and on top of that, many geological issues are not in fact due to age as science claims. It's simply lies and distortions to make their theory fit.

God says His ways are not our ways. And He also clearly says that time doesn't exits with God. "...a thousand years as one day..."

Whos to say its old at all? Thats the whole point. The only reason anyone thinks its old is because of  Charles Lyell. He walked out one day and just made up the ages of the Earth. Thats where it came from. He said it, so it stuck. Science cannot tell you how old anything really is, outside of a historical context. The Earth isnt old. The Grand Canyon was washed out by the flood in a matter of weeks. There is no test in the world that tells how old anything is, all of them are based off assumptions, and all of them are 100% wrong if you know how old something is. And that is a scientific FACT that has been observed and repeated.
