On this day in 4004 BC, despite it being many days after October 3rd, 4004 BC, creationists did not exist.

HA HA HA.... O MY THOR do I hate that crap......
Yea, I often counter that bullshit with the fact that homicide detectives are never there when the murder occurs but find clues after the fact to catch the killer with things like fingerprints and DNA.
Knowing the age of the planet and universe is done through things like knowing the speed of light, astrophysics, geology, anthropology, fossil records in much the same way.
Pesky things like "clues".
Really as simple as knowing that when if find cat shit in my cat's litter box, even though I didn't see him take a shit, pretty sure an elephant didn't leave it there.

That's what they WANT you to believe...
But it is worth noting that since Mayor Yates' edict, there has not been ONE single, solitary Viking landing on the shores of New Zealand.

They're so cunning they left a Spanish helmet in Wellington harbour after one of their raids as a form of misdirection...
