Take the sun for example. I understand that physicists figure it took about 30 million years for it to graduate from being a protostar. Then from there I assume it would take considerable time for it to adjust to the temperature suitable to serve the earth and sustain life. So if God created it suddenly thousands of years ago secularist earth scientists would figure it to be what their calculations determine for a sun looking like it to be. kThus the sun created thousands of years ago must needs have the apppearance of a much older age. I understand it is considered to be about as old as the earth by secularists, which is about 4.5 billion years old. Im not wanting to get in to a numbers debate here. My point is that to exist it must have the appearance of age much older than what it actually is if it were created thousands of years ago suddenly by a creator. Where am I mistaken?

So if the sun had the appearance of age when created so would about everything else on the same basis, that it exists and time would be involved to bring anything to exist according to secularist calculations. Things like precious stones, common stones, minerals, etc.

God is not a liar.
But Ned, my point is re-establishing for this thread that God is not a liar in creating things with appearance of age.

Re: God is not a liar.
Ned, as I said, I'm not getting into dates. I don't think that we know everything about elements in the atmosphere and on earth hundreds of millions to billions of years ago, regardless of how scientific you try to be. Suffice to say things created would show appearance of age. That's as far as I will go with it, but that much is a fact.
