this deceptive? What do you think?

Here is my answer :

THE EARTH IS VERY YOUNG.(6,000 years old)

The Garden of Eden was filled with false appearances of age, it is true---full grown trees, plants, animals, an entire biosphere. NOTHING DECEPTIVE IN GOD"S PLAN FOR THE EARTH.

in fact, Adam and Eve themselves were created as adults from the beginning of their existence. But this is not deceptive, since God has told us what He did, and we need but believe what He tells us.

THOSE WHO INSIST THAT THE WORLD MADE ITSELF ARE DECEIVING THEMSELVES.

GENESIS 1:1

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
 
For what it is worth ... the Bible does not give an age for the earth. The 6,000 year old thing was an estimate of Dr. John Lightfoot, a 17th century Anglican clergyman. He estimated that creation occurred during 4004 BCE. Bishop James Ussher in the 17th century made the same estimate a decade later, and got almost all the credit.
