Are you saying that when 'god' promises eternal life, he's actually short selling us and means it's just 100k years? What a ripoff! </joke>



Who talks about God? We're talking about scientific evidence. Big numbers are just imagination (see my other comment).


I'm aware about the creationist newish trick of trying to remove the 'god' factor out of their 'theory' during arguments.

Simple Newtonian physics could easily prove you can't /possibly/ reach a stable equilibrium in a system of the mass of the earth/moon for example in just 6k years. Let alone all the other fancy goodies flying around in the rest of the universe.

We don't need fossil records there. So unless the fairy in the sky built the universe, let it sat unused on a shelf for 13+ billion years THEN decided having Adam seems like a cool idea to break the boredom of perfectly stable orbits...
