Even if the universe has existed that long, anyone that believes that all the various parts of a human body could gradually come about over millions and billions of years as well as the interactive systems to sustain ...[text shortened]... kinds and not the gradual appearance as they expected from their foolhardy theory of evolution.
4.5 billion years ago - earth formed
3.7+ billion years ago - first life forms
2.5 billion years ago - eukaryotes appear (first multicellular organisms)
540-480 million years ago - the cambrian explosion which saw ever more complex variants of multi-cellular forms
225 million years ago - first mammals appear
6 million years ago - first hominids appear
200,000 years ago - modern humans appear
These numbers are approximate (I can't be arsed to look the current numbers up), and these numbers are adjusted as new evidence appear, but they're not gonna change to 6000 years as through some magic. You'd need a really good explanation from geology, astronomy, physics, genetics and a whole host of specialised fields, to explain away all this. It's not enough to say you don't believe it, or you know of some problems with dating methods (that scientists detected and accounted for). Show us how they're wrong. And no, I'm not asking for another propaganda video trying to attack established science, but evidence that everything we know about the world today fits within a 6,000 year old universe. Until creationist scientists produce a falsifiable model explaining how all the evidence fits within a six thousand year old universe, your objections amount to nothing but loud talk.
