..."If God actually created anything at all, even the simplest atoms, those atoms or other creations would necessarily have an appearence of some age. There could be no genuine Creation of any kind, without an initial appearence of age inherent in it.
And if God could create atomic stuff with an appearence of age--in other words, if God exists!--then there is no reason why He could not, in full conformity with His character of Truth, create a whole universe full-grown." (Whitcomb and Morris, 1961, 238).
Morris later added:
"Real creation necessarily involves creation of 'apparent age'. Whatever is truly created--that is, called instantly into existence out of nothing--must certainly look as though it had been there prior to its creation. Thus it has an appearence of age." (Morris, 1972, p. 62)
