This is what my pastor's father says about the subject.  God *antiqued*
the world when he covered the earth with salt water with the flood of 
Noah.  Never before had the earth's surface been under such tremendous
pressure to archive the earth and make it appear (and test) to be so
old.  He tells of a antique furniture maker that realized this and
did so accordingly.

Several years ago there was a well skilled craftsman that'd make 
highly crafted *antique* look alike furniture.  Only the most skilled
dealers were able to tell his product from truly old furniture.  What
he did was to *antique* a piece of furniture to make it look so terribly
old was bombard the furniture from a shotgun blast loaded with common 
table salt (before which the piece of furniture was just soaking wet
so that'd it'd be receptive to the salt) instead of shot (the shotgun
pelletts).  He'd blast, and blast, and blast, and blast this piece
of furniture until is was staturated with salt all over under these
extreme conditions of forcing the salt into the soft wet wood at really
high speed and tremendous force.  Then he'd sand the piece of furniture 
back dow to the point where you couldn't tell it was ever blasted at
all.  With all of the salt remaining deep in the wood, it kinda remained
in a semi-petrified (or antiqued, aged) state.  Then he'd put a finish 
>on it.  And nobody would know the difference.

That's how my pastor, Bro Bob Koonce, explains why the scientists
say the earth is 6 kazillion years old......
