Talking Maybe God made the universe in 6 days and made it APPEAR to be very very old?

Could the Creator have created the Universe in 6/7 days as creationists argue, MAKING IT LOOK LIKE it's been around for billions of years?

I mean, even something like this could be possible, if we assume that 'a creator' is infinitely smart. I mean, he could just about do anything, couldn't he? For all we know, he could be sitting in his front porch and looking at this universe which, to him appears as a small plastic ball in his home swimming pool!!!

The mind boggles.

Maybe the Invisible Pink Unicorn created the universe five minutes ago, with our memories and the appearance of age.

That's got to be the stongest argument against legalizing marijuana that I've ever seen...

To quote Brian Sewell, art critic of the Evening Standard:
