We have the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky near the Cincinnati airport. They believe in the "young earth" theory and are not tolerant of any other opinions. It is a very worthwhile place to go and spend the better part of a day.
I think I would enjoy doing that.
(Draw your own conclusions! )

One guy told me once, that the earth was just as it was described in Genesis. He said that just like God made Adam into a man and not a baby -- he did the same with the earth. In other words, all this stuff that scientist date back so many years was formed by God to be that way -- without the passing of all that time.
That guy on TBN that has the museum in Texas has some interesting comments about this kind of stuff.
I heard that, too. But there was a good purpose for God making Adam and adult and not an infant, which would not make sense in doing the same with the earth.

This TOTAL speculation, but God could have done that in order to test people.

I see your point. But I don't see God doing that solely to test people. I think the earth is millions of years old, but there was no man before Adam, who seemed be created 6,000 years ago.

Psalm 104 parallels Genesis first 6 days perfectly. But after it mentions the sixth day, it says this:
Psalms 104:30 KJV Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Sounds like Genesis 1 was a renovation, not creation, except for verse 1 and except for life.

I believe the seven days were literally seven 24 hour periods God took to do what He did.

I believe Genesis 1 took place in the mind of God and in Chapter two God actually did the creative work in a single day.
I believe the earth existed already and was 'revamped' for the placing of Adam kind on it.
I believe other things as well, but this is enough for now.
You definately show that you are capable of thinking outside the box.

Close to my beliefs.
I believe Gen 1 is the creation from the perspective of METHOD and Chapter 2 is the same creation from a perspective of PURPOSE highlighting Adam.
I believe the single Gen 1 and Gen 2 creation was a revamped earth done after the fall of satan caused a destruction that may have started and ended millions of years before the first day of Gen 1.
