The number "4.5 billion years" (or in Sagan's case, "4.5 BuhBuhBuhBillion years") is thrown out as if it were something approaching eternity

No it isn't.

and therefore almost anything is possible.

No one makes that argument, but thanks so much for the straw man fallacy.

But that isn't science,

...which is why science doesn't do that, contrary to your dishonest accusation...

it's myth-making just as surely as someone making up religious stories.

Ooh, an admission?

Where is the math?

See my post #158.

That'll get you started. If the math doesn't work, the mechanism doesn't work.

The math does work.

If you don't have the math, you don't have the argument.

We have the math and the argument.

If you disagree, then you're cordially invited to respond to the same challenge I made to the other nitwits in post#158.

Actually, that is essentially exactly what is said. Richard Dawkins as the prime example.

I do not understand your need for the disingenuousness, defensiveness or intellectual honesty you put forth.
