God creates all the fossils and geological features in place, giving the appearance of an old Earth.  God created the light from the stars in transit, so you see them today.

Both those arguments circulated in published literature.  It's bound to happen when an argument involves an omniscient and omnipotent Being who can do anything He wants at any time for any reason.

    Which is why if that premise is attempted the person making it has to demonstrate it is true before moving on to the how and why of creation. If you actually read about that god in the early Genesis it isn't omnicient and none too bright. Even Lot outwits it. It is far from omni-anything save maybe pain in the ass.

    If the guy insists in him rather than it, do a Capt Kirk. What use does god have for a spaceship or a penis?

Another angle I've seen is that the speed of light is changing.  One fellow, I believe I saw this in an Institute for Creation Research publication, fitted a variety of curves to speed of light measurements versus time, and discovered they best fitted a logarithmic cosine, demonstrating that he knew how to select "Fit Function" in his stat software but knew nothing about error bars.  Generate a finite set of data with error bars that decrease in time, but whose values are essentially random within the error bars, and you'll find a logarithmic cosine that fits it.

    Pick a year and solve e=mc^2 and estimate the temperature of the earth.
