This does raise an interesting question though. Would Adam have had the
usual scars that are incurred in childhood?
The universe certainly seems to have such indications of greater age. For
example, we can see things that were not there when the photons would
have left.
We look at the night sky and photons impinge on our eyes that
popped into existence on 24 Feb 4004 BC, traveling in just such directions
and numbers as to make it look like things were out there millions and
billions of years ago. Someone or something went to a *lot* of trouble to
make the universe look older than some books say it is. Why?
