Why do you feel the need to propose an "embedded age" hypothesis? What purpose does is serve?
It explains how we can have an old earth and mature Adam before the passage of time.

I'm not sure.

I've brought up the concept of "tired energy" before, where perhaps things in the universe have to be at a certain level of tempering.

Have we ever seen this concept in action?

So when God withdrew His shekinah energy at the Fall, nature could take over and run the show for awhile.

So what's the connection between shekinah energy and embedded age?

Wouldn't an allegorical reading of the six days make such an explanation unnecessary?

I already explained in post #19 that this isn't true. Your embedded age claims can not explain the age we see in these rocks without God planting fake fossils in the ground.

The rocks we find age in are found above fossils, so they were formed naturally after the creation week.

Also, wouldn't those fossils be history?

Precisely, which is why AV stated that God did not plant fake fossils in the ground. Since God did not plant fake fossils in the ground, and we have more than a week's worth of fossils, it is safe to say that the igneous rocks found above fossils formed after the creation week and do not contain embedded age. If the Creation week ended 6,000 years ago, then we should not find rocks that date to millions and billions of years old by radiometric dating.

Perhaps you could explain the difference between "X has the appearance of Y" and "X looks like Y."

As in how someone can say, "This rock has the appearance of being a million years old," but not, "This rock looks like it is a million years old."

If someone said "X is Y," why would you tell others he said, "X looks like Y"?

They'll get the wrong impression.

Wow, you're not even trying to be sneaky about the dishonesty here.

I asked you the different between "X looks like Y" and "X has the appearance of Y."

AT NO TIME did I ever bring up "X is Y."

So, try again, and this time answer my question without your dishonest strawman.
