Am I understanding correctly- they icr.org guys accept the hypothesis that the universe is billions of years old, but they reject the hypothesis that life evolved on earth over a billion years ? And why is that ? Genesis' account encompass both the physical and biological creation. If they want to be consistent they should reject everything that doesn't comply literally with the creation account from genesis.
This is embarrassing and I don't know why you keep going to that anti-science site Dan.

sorry my bad, they are consistent (in rejecting anything derived through science that is):
The idea that the earth and sun were both created during the creation week thousands of years ago, with the sun immediately able to provide life-supporting light as Genesis records, is perfectly consistent with scientific observations.2
And theologically one can argue that God might have created the world in a weak or in an instance one second ago in such a way that the world was created together with its billions of years of history. And also whenever we discuss time it is something not fully comprehensible and even by modern physics time is relative and different objects observe the passing of time differently.
