I'm not dealing with what I don't know was there. I'm also not dealing with what I don't know was not there. That's the difference between us. I can postulate possibilities without
framing them as the truth of the matter. Mere possibility doesn't make it so. In absence of the facts and conditions, guessing is not the only option. Saying "I don't know" is an option and one I prefer to pontificating on what you and I both are ignorant of. It isn't my version vs. yours. It's my approach vs. yours that is the issue here. And many of you can't simply shut up when you don't know.
You are also not dealing with the difficulties of imagining your "possibilities" being the truth of the matter.
Mere possibility doesn't make it so.
Impossibility does tend to make it not so, however. The problems I raised for your canopy as a mitigator of hyperactive decay rates would have to be addressed before anyone would it seriously.

Fine. You don't have a clue. You just wanted to wave some old YEC nonsense around to see if it would fool anybody.
And many of you can't simply shut up when you don't know.
We have established you are utterly ignorant here or you might have anticipated an objection or two. So when do you shut up?
