Felsic rocks like Granite form from high viscosity (thick, with a high silicone volume) magma deep within the earth. The slow cooling of these rock masifests a large crystal structure that you can see in Granites today.
These rocks take millions of years to solidify and cool and many more millions of years of erosion and Orogenis are required to bring them to the surface so they can be handled and used as building materials today.
If the earth was only 6-10 thousand years old the heat from all the Granite alone would turn all the water on the surface of the earth to steam.
How do you explain this?

I'll give it a shot. For the record I support Intelligent Design and I am one of those Fundie-Believers.
Before I can go further, can you explain to me (I'm a science geek) what methods of dating were used to verify that the rocks REALLY do take millions of years to solidify and to erode?
That would help me give you a more clear response (trust me, I won't condemn you to hell once)

The theory of relativity clearly states that time is a dimension (well, actually space time) and depends on the speed of an object. If the speed of the Earth has ever changed it will scramble the time perception because we naturally assumes that time has always been the same.

I have been reading on the granite issue a little and it looks to me that they aren't sure how long it takes for granite to form....It's pretty technical but it appears even the highest eschelon of scientists can't agree on this issue. As for how it was exposed...the flood.

Hey, imagine the kilo-joules of heat created by evaporating all the water that was covering the earth during Noah's flood..... enough to steam teh flesh off the bones of every living creature left on the ark....

Most creationists have heads harder than the rocks you describe!
Its very hard to make them reason. They are sooo blind.

nice argument... but creationists are usually pretty stubborn and will probably say its just the devil trying to trick you, or something stupid like that
