Clearly the world was created at 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.
We can all agree on that (except for those of us who are wrong).
Agreeing that the world was Created at 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 is very important as we shall see.
How do we prove this?
Positive proof: <help me out here...
some techy way of showing the date string on the interlocutor's computer or phone?>
Dismissing objections: Obviously the Creator of the world was very intelligent, and arranged everything to start as set up at the stroke of new year at the beginning of 1970s. Anything that seems to date from before then is a Created Artefact, placed there as part of Creation and intended to stimulate Human works. Fossils, the light from distant stars, medieval archaeology, and ww2 newsreel footage, all placed by the Creator at midnight as the sound of the New Year bells (which had never actually rung because they hadn't been created yet) faded away into the cold night air of 1970
Debunking heretics:
Some people think the world was created approximately 6000 years ago. They are at liberty to believe this if they want to be wrong, but they are not at liberty to refer to this crazy idea as "young Earth". By anyone's standards 6000 years is not "young". It is over 1000 times older than the actual true proven age of the World (which was created at 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, see above).
These people are "Old Earth creationists".
Some people are even crazier and think the world grew out of nothing but we don't need to bother ourselves with that level of batshit mental craziness.
The end of the world and the coming of the ______ (name must never be spoken) at 03:14:08 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038 is a different subject and best not spoken about too much. You only have 17 years left to commit enough sinning to justify being saved (you can't be saved if you're not a sinner, right?

6020 years, actually, since there was no year zero. |
|

Ridiculous!
Don't you know that the world was created last Thursday? |
|
| |
I bet you can't remember what you had for breakfast last
Wednesday. If you think you can, you're wrong. |

So... the first two moon landings didn't actually happen,
but they weren't hoaxes, either. They were just before
the world came to be. |
|
| |
So that means that Apollo 13 was the first human
spaceflight. And instead of being the first American in
space, Alan Shepard was the first man to walk on the
moon. |
|
| |
I don't know... it seems to turn the Creator from a "Just
you and your 40th great-grand children wait and see" type
to a "Here, hold my beer" type. |

//this theory// It's not a theory, it's proven truth. |
|
| |
Surely it's absurd to say that the Earth was created in the
past? There's no proof that the past (or indeed time)
exists at all - it's far more reasonable to think that the
entire universe is created instantaneously for just this
moment, and then ceases to exist. Any 'memories' which
you think represent the past or any predictions about the
future are illusions. :-) |
|
| |
[hippo] That is demonstrably wrong because it is undeniably true that the world was created 1st Jan 1970. That undeniable truth is not consistent with your suggestion therefore your suggestion must be wrong. |

Unless He was working in VBScript. But that would be so
disappointing. |
|
| |
//VBscript//
There's a lot of "come forth..." and
"they went forth..." in the Bible which I think is a clue
that the programming was done in Forth, which is pretty
scary too |
|

Assuming the act of creation was instantaneous. Assuming that creation propagates outwards in all directions at the speed of light. Assuming the universe is closed in 4 dimensions. At some point therefore the act of creation will go right around and hit us in the bum as it gets back to where it started. Where id it start? Hot research questions. |

He probably worked in COBOL and used only 2-digit
years. This is why we're experiencing so many
issues they had in the 1920's all over again and
explains the 1970 start. Gangsters, wild market
swings, autocrats, nationalism... |

Hey I never said that I was the Creator! |
