Yes.It's actually quite simple.
According to AV1611VET, God created the Earth roughly 6,000 years ago.
BUT, when he did so, it was already 4.5 billion years old.
That about sum it up, AV?

I don't know why.Why?
Adam Clarke's Commentary said:It appears that God created every thing, not only perfect as it respects its nature, but also in a state of maturity, so that every vegetable production appeared at once in full growth; and this was necessary that man, when he came into being, might find every thing ready for his use.
I don't know why.
My guess is for anthropic reasons.
I like what Adam Clarke says:
Genesis 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

No.So did God create the remains and imprints of living things when he made the actual terrain before he made the living things themselves?
My guess is to give the universe its 'taste'.Also, what motive would God have to make the universe and the earth older than when they were created -
No.This doesn't strike you as odd?
I use the BC 4004 date for simplicity.When was this done, 6,000 years ago?

Just like raisin bread that is made in just moments, yet has aged grapes (raisins) imbedded in it for taste, the universe was created in a moment, yet has embedded 'raisins' in it for 'taste.'

That's why God gave us the Bible, so we wouldn't make the mistake of relying too heavily on what we see.Without consideration for how the people he loves so much would interpret the evidence he left in the universe so that they wouldn't all be saved?
Faith can move mountains. Just have faithThat's why God gave us the Bible, so we wouldn't make the mistake of relying too heavily on what we see.

Interesting. Any reason why he created Adam with the need for sustenance to begin with? Would Adam have died if he didn't eat?
What do your questions have to do with embedded age?Err...did I say something wrong; were these stupid questions?
Instead, he has made it so some of us would make the mistake of relying too heavily on our interpretation of scripture.
Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at that particular date? ThanksI use the BC 4004 date for simplicity.
