Vernon,

You claim that the "miracle" of Genesis 1:1 necessarily implies the world is less than 10 000 years old.

Overwhelming scientific evidence compels us to conclude the world is much older than 10 000 years.

Hence your miracle implies a falsehood. It follows that, since God does not author falsehoods, your miracle is not of God.

But, you will say, the text is divinely inspired. I'd reply that the thought is divinely inspired; the arrangement of the letters of the words that imply falsehood must have been inspired by some power other than God.
