Hello, friend...

Thanks for stopping by, and for your thoughtful comment.

I'm well aware of the "apparent age" argument. Yes indeed, God did create Adam as a full-grown adult. When he was only minutes old, to us he would have appeared to be twenty years old or more.

However, that particular argument is not helpful from a "scientific" standpoint because (in the case of the age of the earth) there is no experimental way to verify or falsify it. And so, Did God do things that way?

We will simply have to wait to ask him... ;)
