No, just no.

Not only has this topic been done before, with all the hints that Kojima's been dropping in our lap it is pretty much certain that Eli is Liquid.

But...just to counter your points.

1) TPP is set in 1984, there is no hint whatsoever that it will play in any other year. Raiden was about 6/7 years as you say so yourself, Eli clearly looks to be 12 to 16. There is also nothing on Big Boss ever coming to Liberia.

2) While this is true, Raiden was also taken in by Solidus at that time and so far we know, Big Boss and Solidus never met.

3) Raiden's skills with blades seem to come later during and after the events of MGS2.

4) So far is known, he was born as Jack, so this is pure speculation at best.

Further more, Raiden looks nowhere near Eli, not as an adult nor as a child, his hair is a very light blond where Eli is normal blond, Raiden's eyes are blue where Eli's are Green.
