Why would the Creator be fibbing? The argument goes as follows: Adam was not created as an embryo; he was created as a man, with a certain age. Why would the universe be any different? The universe could have been created 30 seconds ago, 14 billion years ago or anywhere in between. And in fact, to those who believe in this argument and also hold a literal view of
Genesis, then the Creator
told us how old the universe is! [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
And no, it can't be addressed in terms of evidence. That makes it non-falsifiable, and thus not a scientific theory. That doesn't mean it couldn't be true. It just means that there is no way to prove that it is false.
