There is no "evidence from astronomy" or anything else.
Look, fellas, I've seen the kidie's picture books. I've been to Primary School. I've been to University. I've seen the television picture shows like all the rest of you... but I've also seen the arguments against and I've had 40 years to think about them all.
There are also knowledgeable folk who can do the maths that prove fancy is not fact.
I wouldn't talk about "fancy" if I were you.
You're the one who just informed us above that: there is a magic force that causes trees to suddenly grow rings a million times faster than normal after trees reach a certain age. You didnt state that in so many words, but its the only way that your actual words would make any sense. But you make no attempt to identify what that magic force is that causes trees to suddenly act so radically different than they act now, much less prove that this force exists. So you're the one trafficking in "fancy".
And you're the one who also informed us above that there is also some other magic force that causes sediment to suddenly be dropped a million times faster than normal rate of deposition after a certain short time span. Again you dont identify this force. Again you appear to be trafficking in "fantasy".
And since you all mentioned "maths", and "astronomy": our next door neighbor is the Andromeda Galaxy which is two million light years away. If the universe were only 6000 years old why are we able to see the Andromeda Galaxy? The light from it wouldnt have reached us yet.
