This is akin to the formerly popular idea that the days of Genesis 1
represent a re-creation after disaster. I've encountered "old earth
but young life" and "don't care about universe age but young earth"
versions, neither of which would be affected by the fact that
radiometric decay would have produced light long before their date for
the origin of life or the earth.
