No this is not the best science can do - it is a carefully crafted and deliberate deception created and pushed to the forefront by those who do not love the truth
Instead of complaining about it, you should publish a more accurate alternative.

I gather from the direction of your question you believe in an old earth, what do you see in the Bible that supports an old earth?
Yes, the earth can be close to 6,000 years old.
Could you point me to paper explaining the more accurate dating system please?
No harm intended and I'm in complete agreement that God put the trees on the earth and the rocks in the ground and could just as well have put the oil in the ground as a part of the near instantaneous formation of the earth 6,000 years ago.
Why do you think I think the earth looked different 5 days after God created it compared to now?
skywriting, I am not sure of your suggested exercise. If I were present one hour after the event of course it would be in the past but old or young? In what context? Are you suggesting that the earth appeared young to Adam because he just came on the scene?
A dating system is no more accurate than weather forecasters can be.
And we use the most powerful computers known to man on that
problem every day of the week.
Not just some papers where people give various opinions on the past
based on some theories of degradation.
Well I don't care if the creationist dating systems are less accurate than weather forecasts. That's why I use the uniformitarian dating systems, that are quite accurate and consistent (and give error ranges).
I think it the Garden provided food and everything Adam needed. OK, the ladies were still missing. I think the Garden was a finished product for an adult Adam. And then God provided an another adult Eve. Everything God does appears "old" and ready for use. This is also true of everything Jesus did as well. So "Young Earth" is not a valid idea. God creates "old" because that what works. God isn't trying to "fool" anybody. A "young" earth isn't ready for use.
I understand that "Creation Scientists" are attempting to distance themselves from the old, natural idea of an ancient cosmos that births life all by itself. But we can't ignore the bible creating Adam and Eve as adults and the earth as a mature place, ready for habitation in 6 days. That's how it reads. Young earthers are listening to preachers, not God's actual words.
That's nice. Jesus just handed me some wine He created at a party.
Give me your best uniformitarian estimate.
I'm not going to judge you based on your analysis.
I'm quite forgiving.
Well, I don't accept your idea that Adam was created mature but with false memories of a past life including parents. <snip>.
I have to reject your post the minute you start making stuff up.
