What of the belief that the universe didn't come into existence 5 minutes ago with the appearance of age? Are you skeptical of this claim, or do you know of 'credible evidence' that it is true?
Well this would involve magic to have suddenly poofed the universe into existence with no explanation of a process that could possibly do this. But there is evidence that the universe is old and that there is a theory as to how it began and came to be like it is now.
So as in anything I would go with the theory with evidence that doesn't rely on magic.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
