The flow of time being different in special situations is, actually, quite well understood. Gravity wells slow time down, and relative motion slows time down.

It works at our scale. But behaves strangely at some special scales.
It is very similar to that we do not see God, so we say God does not exist.
Yes.I create two rocks ex nihilo. I create one with two million years of embedded age and the other with none.
When you study them, your analysis shows that one rock is new and the other rock is old, despite the fact they are both the same age.
Am I being deceptive in making it look like one rock is older than the other?
I really have no problem with embedded age as a concept (that is not to say I think that is what God did) but embedded history is inherently deceptive.If an entity could create a new orange in an instant, it would have the appearance of age and history. Yet have no age or history. There would really be no way to tell it apart from a normal orange. Other than it would be an extremely perfect orange.
Because there is no evidence for any of those (well there is for continental breakup but not in the time frame YECs need).No, the earth is measured by the presupposition that those processes take eons of time and that there was no global breakup, flooding, volcanism and increased subduction.
There is no evidence of a GLOBAL Flood to study. All the existing evidence goes against the idea.What scientists study is the aftermath of a catastrophic flood and continental breakup never seen before.
No, the "how" part of the question has been answered. The rock with the fossil in it was created ex nihilo with the snap of the fingers.Wrong question. You should ask: How?
It is if the actual age is only 6,000 years.I understand. But you used a WRONG analogy. I (God) did not give false information to my students (people).
The millions of years of age is NOT a false information.
I really have no problem with embedded age as a concept (that is not to say I think that is what God did) but embedded history is inherently deceptive.
If God created Adam as a full-grown adult because that is what was necessary for him to survive, then that is embedded age and theologically (IMO anyway) fine. If, however, God created Adam with a scar on his knee such as would be sustained in a fall, that is embedded history and, since the fall that would have caused the scar never actually happened, God gave Adam a history that didn't exist. That IS deceptive.
What we see everywhere in the universe is the same. If the universe and our world are indeed only 6,000 years old, then God has given views of things that never happened. That is deceptive no matter how you try spin it.
Stars created like Adam's bones being created mature?
If God wanted it to, it would.
God wouldn't take care of him?
How do you know you weren't made five seconds ago with memories and brought into a world that was made to look like you'd lived in it?
It's not even just that. We can see remains from stars that went supernova, spread over millions of lightyears. If what you're saying is true, God made the remnant of a supernova that never happened from a star that never existed.
Why?
There's no reason for the Hawaiin islands to show a clear a progression of erosion and building that.
There's no reason for the earth to have dozens upon dozens of impact craters all over it that would have decimated life on this planet if they happened within a small time period, not to mention that they never were mentioned in any historical record ever.
There's no reason for varves and ice layers to go as deep as they do, and contain material from volcanic eruptions that never happened.
You can't just say 'TIME DILATION' like that explains everything.
Those events did happen in space but not in our "time frame".
You are going by man's assumptions that those events on earth took a long time to happen.
The ice layers they study formed after the flood during the ice age.
A thousand year old sun would not put out enough heat for life on earth.
Now you are saying God should have created Adam as a child and reared him?
God couldn't design a sun that works that way?
Do you propose to be wiser than God? It would not have been "very (in the widest sense) good".Why not? What difference would it actually make to him?
Not enough fusion built up. And he did design a sun that way. You can see it if you walk outside on a sunny day.
Do you propose to be wiser than God? It would not have been "very (in the widest sense) good".
Then the creator of the rock is a deceiver. The creature represented by that fossil never actually existed.
No, the "how" part of the question has been answered. The rock with the fossil in it was created ex nihilo with the snap of the fingers.
"Why" there is a fossil of a creature that never existed embedded in the rock is the correct question.
