Not circular reasoning.

You can dance and evade all you want but you still haven’t answered the qeuestions.

Also, I was not making any claims anout YEC. You dragged that one in and it still does not change the fact that the Bible believers were correct about the universe having a beginning no matter what the age, and that pervailiing scientific wisdon was WRONG.

Einstein did not blunder when he deliberately added the cosmological constant. I was deliberate deceit and manipluation. He added it because he did not like the results he got from his equations. That cosmological constant did not drop out of the sky and fall into his equatons. He put the cosmological cnstant in to make the universe appear to not have a beginning, NOT to prove anything about God or a perfect univere.

And who decides that the “perfect” universe is static anyway?

He recanted only when he had to. Until he was forced to accept the redshift data, he was more than happy to let the lie stand.

Classic circular reasoning.

Perhaps you need to look up the definition of circular reasoning.

And who decides that the “perfect” universe is static anyway?

If it is perfect and it is changing, then how can both today's universe and yesterday's universe both be perfect?

Tomorrow is different, is it going to be perfect too?

Maybe perfect would be another good word to look up.

You set yourself up as a Biblical Literalist, yet get upset when held to literal standards. One of those is creation happening in 6 days, plus a day of rest, plus a relatively low number of generations enumerated since then. Even if every enumerated generation lived ten times as long as Methuselah, it's still a minuscule fraction of the age Hubble and so many other methods give.

Which is it? You are either a de facto YEC, a fraud, or have no concept of long time periods.

I chose to believe you are an honest agent, but literally cannot conceive any meaningful difference between a few hundreds of thousands of years and a few billions of years.

You at least have plenty of company in that. We're really not built to do that.
