Did it look almost exactly as it does today? If so, then why was it created with the appearance of having been around for several billion years? For instance, why do we find mountains growing in height at a rate of millimetres per year which therefore must have started forming several million years ago? Why do we find that Africa and South America were once joined together and are only separating now at the rate of about 2cm per year, meaning that the South Atlantic must be about 200 million years old? Why do we find great volcanoes reduced to stumps by the unimaginably slow processes of erosion, which clearly could not have done their work in a mere 6,000 years?
And so on...
Why was the world not created to look 6,000 years old, but rather billions of years old, if it really is 6,000 years old?
