"... did you not detect the irony of my post??"

Of course! Congratulations!

And welcome to the club of those few folks who can appreciate taking the long view. As an indicator of this; I was looking at a photograph of Mount Everest.

The striations of the rock are clearly visible, indicating that it is composed of sedimentary rock.

Whoa! The top of Mount Everest was at one time under an ocean? Awesome!!

Which illustrates the oft futility of crevo debates - trilodite fossil found on Everest could mean the Earth is only 6,000 years old - circumstantial proof of the Flood, or it could mean the Earth is billions of years old - Everest was created over millions of years by the Indian subcontinent pushing against the Asian plate, which means it was under sea at one point.
