You project a lot. There was no derision, only a statement of fact.
I don’t project at all, I only stated a fact.
You are funny. You call something highly educated folks are doing in their field of expertise (which likely you don't share that same level of expertise) as 'just a guess', and then suggesting that your statement is a fact. But certainly no derision.
Are you good when folks dismiss Biblical creation as 'just a myth'?
