I guess he is wondering where Moses got the time-machine from.

No we have that covered too.

par. 3 The last chapter, containing the record of the death of Moses, may have been added by Joshua or by High Priest Eleazar.

This has been talked about to death on this site, yet young earth creationists seem to want to remain what they are.

Why not just let them be? It's not like they believe that carbon emissions will destroy the earth in 12 years or something as bizarre.
Where the HELL did you hear anything like that 12 year crap you just spouted?

The claim that the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old stems from a scholarly work published by Bishop James Ussher in 1654, commonly known as The Annals.

See :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ussher

You can read the work for yourself and follow Ussher's reasoning. Most YECs don't bother to actually examine Ussher's reasoning; they just accept his date on faith.

I am a non-theist, and I believe that the preponderance of evidence is compellingly in favor of an old Earth (in billions of years) and an even older universe, and, moreover, that all life forms did not appear at the same time (plus or minus a few hours), to wit, that evolution is not 'just a theory' but really happened. Evolution is incompatible with a young Earth.
