>>A more satisfying argument, to me, would
be that God created the Universe some 6000 or so years ago as a fully
functional system, with the stars 'way out there and the light well on
its
way to us, with all the daughter products of the U and The series in
place, with the isotopic signatures that we find, etc., etc. Note that I
don't say I'd be happy with it, but I think I'd prefer it over "shoe
horning" Genesis into geology or the other way around.>>
That's the Gosse concept. Most people (not me) reject it because they
think it makes God out to be a deceiver. See his book or my review (a
copy is on my web site).
