Litvishe…..you are assuming that the metric with which we measure humanity’s “advancement” technology. As if we needed to reach “iPhone” status, and it took us X amount of years when it should have taken us only Y amount of years. That entire premise is erroneous. You can’t take an existing new accomplishment and use it as the basis to measure the accomplishment itself. For example: say you are an inventor, and you discover diodes, wildly helpful in shrinking electronics to handheld size. They’ve never been known before, you are the first to have ever done it. You can’t be asked why it took so long because there’s no one else who has done it. How long should it have taken? Discovery and invention cannot be compared to itself. The only possible way to ask that question would be if there was an exact replica of our world and circumstances down to the last grain of sand, and THEY came up with all of this much faster than us…..but that doesn’t exist. So using “well it took only 25 years for an iPhone to be made, if the world is trillions of years old we should be much farther” as some sort of proof of a young earth , falls short.
