If that is what you are looking for, then you will not find it.

Go back to my analogy of the creation of Adam -- he was created as a fully grown man, not a zygote, an embryo, a fetus, a baby, a child, or an adolescent. Modern day scientists who studied him extensively would be able to prove conclusively (and incorrectly) with scientific data that he was old enough to be an adult, even though he was mere seconds old.

The universe and all that is in it (including the earth) was created at the same time, in the same manner, by the same God, as Adam and thus there will be no scientific data that will accurately determine the age of the universe just as there would be no scientific data that would give an accurate age for Adam had he been studied by modern scientific methods.

Creation, like evolution, is a matter of faith, not science. There is no solid evidential proof for either although I believe there is more evidence and logic in favor of creation and against evolution than the other way around. The most fundamental question of all is that of where did life itself come from, and evolution has no answer whatsoever for that.
