The Omphalos hypothesis is the philosophical idea that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago but with an appearance of old age. For example, rivers which had carved through rock strata, trees with growth rings, and, the classic example, Adam and Eve with navels. The idea was first put forth in a 1857 book by naturalist Philip Henry Gosse entitled Omphalos, which itself means "navel."
