Easily explained away. All that is required is a god that wants to rig the
game...
The stars were created in 4006 BC with the appropriate compositions and
velocities and things were set up so that light of the appropriate frequency
was already enroute.
The carbon found in strata was created with different proportions than the
carbon found in the atmosphere, so that when you use the carbon dating
method you get the results that indicate that stuff is older.
And the chinese lineage records were made up by somebody somewhere, or planted.
but if this god is playing straight, these are not so easily refutable...
