This begs the question, though. Of course Adam and the living things had to be created in a mature state, in order to live. But why did God have to create the earth in a "mature" state? What's "mature" about having the relative amounts of isotopes such that the earth looks 4+ billion years old?

the earth can be made up of materials that are old, or have been through a process that has made them appear to be old, and still have been formed relatively recently.

Are you comparing the creation of the earth with antiquities fraud?

Re: Summary

But there must be some way of distinguishing an old earth from a young one. Otherwise God is guilty of a fraud.
