Apparent age?
It appears to me that this thread is focusing on the "outward appearance of age" and is for that reason an inappropriate question.
To my mind such an outward appearance of age is inherent to the existence of things. And, we tend to resolve such a question with simple comparison too other things. Thus, we mark things with age and authorship indicators lest unresolvable confusion occur in the future about the age or source of a man-made thing.
The real question is...does nature exhibit the appearance of age at all levels of investigation (seeing)?
So, although Adam may ponder how long the Garden of Eden existed before he was put there his understanding depends on the validity of witnesses as to the actual age ,and/or some methodical means of determining age scientifically.
