若い地球の創造論のかつての本拠地Institute for Creation Researchに二代目所長John D. Morrisによれば、Apearance of Ageとは...
Simply stated, the idea of "creation with appearance of age" means that when God created, those things which He created might superficially have looked as if they had a history. When Adam was created, he no doubt looked like a mature adult, fully able to walk, talk, care for the garden, etc.
簡単に言うと、appearance of ageを伴う創造とは、神が被造物を、見かけの上で、歴史を経ているかのように創造したという考えである。アダムが創造された時、間違いなく、彼は成人として創造され、歩き、話し、庭の世話をできた。
