No, I don't think the universe was created 4,000 years ago. I believe that silly idea is put forward by Protestants who interpret the bible literally. I don't know how they come up with that number. I heard once they get that number by tracing all the begats back. It still seems arbitrary.

I distrust scientists (modern day priesthood) as well. It seems that every couple of years they have to revise a previously held dogma. I recall being taught (with a couple of exceptions) that the changes on earth have taken place very slowly over a very long period of time. Recent evidence suggests that Velikovsky may have been right, at least about some things. The planet is probably quite a bit younger than previously thought, with some very violent upheavals occurring with more frequency than previously thought. There may have a pole shift relatively recently, for example. In a book called Pole Shift by John White he speculates the Hudson Bay is the former location of the North Pole. Even if this is bunk there is a significant body of evidence which supports the idea that the earth's history has been short (relatively speaking) and turbulent.
