Not impossible at all given modern science. The age of the universe all depends on the rate of the expansion of space-time. And we KNOW that the rate of expansion (governed by the value of the Hubble Constant) has varied in the past. In fact, it's a functional part OF the Standard Model, i.e., that period of VAST expansion just after the Big Bang called 'Inflation'. So, we KNOW, beyond doubt, that the rate of expansion has varied and that the Hubble Constant is not a constant, rather, it's a variable. What we DON'T know is how fast the rate slowed down from the period of inflation to the first time the 'constant' was measured. There's every possibility that the universe COULD have been on 'fast forward' up to the point of mankind. Since all radioactive decay is RELATIVE TO the value of the Hubble Constant, we cannot rely on radioactive decay as any indication of the actual age of the universe; rather, it's only an indication of the RELATIVE age. And there absolutely NO WAY of discovering the rate of slowing OF the Hubble Constant as all of the indicators are relative TO it. It could well be that it slowed in 6 stages that, given the value of the Hubble Constant today, amounts to 6 days of current time. Nice try, but I've already given that one some thought and modern science CANNOT rule out a 6-day Creation based on what we know to date.
