    Why do people say that the earth looks old? That's a sincere question.

    Could the curse make the world look old? We have an abundance of natural resources so we don't have to worry with good stewardship. It's the Hindus & pagans who think everything is old & hopeless.

    God did not use ANY form of evolution except for within the species, as that was one one male/female pair of dogs had within them all of the various breeds to come about in History!

    Again, this issue all depends if one sees Genesis account as being literal and actual factual history, or if just Myth or metaphor!

    Yes! And Noah's Flood tore up every last thing a second time.

    hard to assume that there was no physical aspects changed in both events, which would really affecting aging, due to assuming everything stayed pretty much uniform over time!

    If you are planning to discuss science with a scientist, you should definitely not argue the age of the earth or universe. You will not have science on your side, only appearance of age, which will mean nothing to a non-believer.

    Atheists tend to argue the opposite way when it comes to design. They argue appearance of design, an interesting reversal for which they have no support, other than wanting to believe there is no God. Such "scientifically-minded" folk tend to be very poor philosophers.

    Not sure this point was clear enough. If I understand correctly, you are saying that:

    1. Evolutionary theory cannot account for the diversity we see, if the earth is young, regardless of a global flood.

    2. Similarly, a young earth position coupled with a global flood cannot account for the diversity we see, unless evolution is far more powerful than even evolutionists believe.

    Is that what you are saying?

    Evolution is scientifically impossible. American professors are very backwards in their unscientific support of evolution. The modern world is passing American scientists by. A lot of them are led intellectually by Greta Thunberg, the Swedish actress.
