[H]ow old would a mountain appear, if God created it? A full grown mountain, not a baby mountain, not a youth mountain, not a teen-age mountain? Would it appear one day old to these radiometric tests the day He created it, or would it apprear older?

What kind of gobbleygook is this? This is about as nonsensical a question as I've seen in a while.if God existed and he created a mountain, I would assume it would appear any age he wanted it to. But since geology doesn't work like that, mountains are formed over many years by different methods. Some are formed rather quickly by volcanic activity while others take millions of years by such methods as continental drift and collision. None of these methods require a god.
It annoys me that this person is presumably my age, but lacks the mind to understand anything that goes on in the real world.
God could create something to appear any age He chose. The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster uses this argument - the FSM created a false history and planted phony fossils just to keep scientists entertained. Such a possibility would be impossible to disprove.
yes, God created red and blueshift in light traveling towards and away from the earth. Why? Because he wants people to think that the universe is billions of years old instead of just 6000 years. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Unless you believe in a trickster God, it would appear to be zero age (within margin of error). If he would create it with the appearance of age just to try to fool us and then damn those who fell for it, he's unworthy of any sort of worship.
Confused?
