That assumes constant length seconds which is an
illogical assumption. If the length of a second
has changed drastically, 7000 years may be correct.

correct.
Possibly the most absurd thing I've read so far. A most disengenuous
argument.

Are we now going to abuse the theory of relativity to satisfy the
convenient lie of creationism?

Have we moved from Darwin to Einstein?

Are Copernicus and Galileo next?

How about Roger Bacon? (who?)

Oh, wait, it's Cecil. I'm fished-in again.

Not at all. We know the length of seconds change with
velocity. We could easily calculate an initial velocity
and a present velocity that would make the universe
7000 absolute years old. (absolute as opposed to relative)

convenient lie of creationism?

Could be, they are both correct.

Did you see the movie, "Inherit the Wind"? At the end of
the movie, Clarence Darrow weighed the value of both
Darwin and The Bible and tucked both under his arm.

Are Copernicus and Galileo next?

Can you prove that the earth is not at a fixed point in
space?
