Well of course!  And everyone knows that it happened last Thursday!

So how's your sophomore year going so far?  Puked on a chick while you
were making out yet?

Nonsensical but I susupect you have great experience in
puking......your AA buddy probably get a little worn with it.

The reason you react so irrationally is that you realize that the
apparent age argument cannot be disproved.

Of course it can't be disproved.  That's why it's ludicrous to consider it.

Of course if say 10,000
years ago such was the case in order to get the universe to operate
properly it might well be reasonable to embue it with characteristics
and properties typical of great age.

Why not last Thursday?  Or why not consider that we are brains in vats?

Because there are recent historical documents, memory of varifiable
events, and because we have a reliable record of God's acts and a
demonstrated example of His character which is consistent with truth
and not trickery.

Why would anyone resort to irrational imaginary explanations when the
written evidence is readily available for how all has began and
unfolded. Unless you're an EVO and imagination is your stock in trade.
