In the Hebrew and Aramaic idiom in which the Bible was written, when something was absolutely going to happen in the future, it is often spoken of as if it had already occurred in the past. Hebrew scholars are familiar with this idiom and refer to it as “the prophetic perfect,” “the historic sense of prophecy,” and the “perfective of confidence.” [1] Students studying Semitic language and thought sometimes call this idiom, “here now, but not yet” or “already—not yet.” [2]God said He created the universe, then stretched (past tense) it out.

So what was your answer on how there can be embedded age when 98% of all life is now extinct? Do you really think all of those fossils came and went in a 24 hour day? There are huge, massive amounts of fossils.That's cool.

Chalk, is a type of limestone formed from the accumulation of tiny marine organisms’ shells and skeletons, primarily composed of calcium carbonate23. While the formation of chalk involves organic processes, the material itself is considered inorganic.
Main question is why? Why create the world to look older than it actually is?I'll take questions on Embedded Age Creation here.
I define Embedded Age Creation as: maturity without history.
The fossils are all found at different layers. So if all of those layers were created by the flood then how do you explain the grand canyon? The flood could not have created all of those layers and washed them away at the same time.You stop coloring when the picture is done.
To explain why as day in Genesis is a 24 hour day.Why create the world to look older than it actually is?
My main observation is that Embedded Age makes God out to be anything but honest and upfront with what He creates.Main question is why? Why create the world to look older than it actually is?
That is why Paul tells us in Roman 1 19. All of creation is to teach us about God, not to show us He is a trickster. God does not want to deceive us, He wants us to know the truth.My main observation is that Embedded Age makes God out to be anything but honest and upfront with what He creates.

But not nearly as old as geology tells us.This passage gives us a good perspective:
Matthew 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Some things need to be old, else they won't function right.
He didn't.
The world "looks old" because it "is old".
But not nearly as old as geology tells us.
Did you ever look to see all that scripture went through before King James got a hold of it? There is a lot of oral tradition in our written Bible.And in no way, shape, or form is it to contradict Scripture.
Rather ask the Creator, the Author of Life, of Faith, and of all Scripture,Did you ever look to see all that scripture went through before King James got a hold of it? There is a lot of oral tradition in our written Bible.
I found a rock and measured it. It is only a few thousand years old. Never could find one over a million years old.Huh?
If a rock is a billion years old, it's a billion years old.
And it should look and function like it's a billion years old.
But it has only been in existence since 4004 BC.
You are ok with that absurdity?Huh?
If a rock is a billion years old, it's a billion years old.
