As a Christian, I reject a young earth. I believe that God created an Old Earth 6,300 years ago. Let me explain:

The earth was created with a backstory or an apparent age. Think about how He created Adam; as a fully grown man on day one. In reality, Adam was one when God created Him, but he probably looked like a 30 something year old man. Now, if scientists were to have observed and studied Adam in the garden, they would logically conclude that he is 30 something, but in reality, he was merely created with an apparent age or backstory. I believe that there is a uniformity in this apparent age concept and it applies to the earth, all things on the earth and the entire universe. So, the earth could very well have been created with a millions or billions of years backstory 6,000 years ago.

It is a lot less complicated than young earth creationists make it out to be. If they understood this basic idea, they wouldn't spend so much time trying to find all of this young earth evidence. On the other hand, Theistic evolutionists also miss the mark so they overcomplicate things and jump into a pool of confusion in trying to compromise and make the Bible fit with the Darwinian monkey men fairytale for adults.

Also, another thing: 6,300 years is not young. That is old. It is quite a long time.

"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of OLD, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:......." 2 Peter 3:5.
