Something for Young Earth Creationists to consider:
Nowhere in the Bible is the age of the Earth mentioned. Not 6,000 years, not 10,000 years. There's is no mention at all. That young age comes from a MAN; A fallible, mortal man called Bishop Usher who did what he reckoned were some good calculations to get it.
So when you're saying that science like evolution, geology or physics cannot disprove God's word...remember that the age of the earth is NOT God's word. It's MAN's word.

@Emosaur We are all subject to the promise made by God to Abraham and fulfilled by Jesus on the Cross. This is for all of us, Jew, Christian, Islamist and even German atheists who continue to search for God.
Still you have not added anything about a Quantum Universe and creativity. I’m looking forward to your contribution here. It’s no good deflecting the issue.
There have been an array of German Physicists contributing to the Quantum Theory: Planck, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Born and the like. Added to that Einstein, of Austrian heritage. So I’m sure you have thoughts you wish to share with us.
@Pikachu Try reading the books of John Polkinghorne. They are quite accessible. Polkinghorne was Prof of Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, England in the seventies and early eighties.
Alas, my knowledge of the mysterious paradigm of Quantum physics has long gone. And like the rest of us mere mortals think under the constraints of Newtonian Phydics
@Pikachu Because the Quantum paradigm has succeeded the Newtonian one. When reading Theoretical Physics at Uni I saw no tension between creation and Quantum Physics. But that was a long time ago. As I said, Polkinghorne has made a valuable contribution in this field, for the general reader, of which I must now include myself. Quantum Mechanics is fiendishly difficult. In America you would leave it to tbe minds of Richard Feynman and Murray Gel-Man.
I guess i don't understand why you'd mention quantum physics or suggest its study in the context of creationism unless you had in mind a reason or example as to why creationism should be re-examined under this lens.
