I think he DID mean to say "collage level physics" - you know, pasted together from miscellaneous scraps picked up here and there ...

Ach, it was quite gentle humour, was it not? I doubt TC will mind. BTW, do I notice a little change in attitude on the forum since TC's age was revealed?
I for one have no intention of being patronising or going easy. I don't care if TC is 15 or 51. (Maybe they were created 15 years ago by a a mischevious God who planted misleading evidence of greater age.)
TC is rhetorically effective if a little weak on logic and a little too willing to flip between modes of reference as it suits, but this is a common failing at any age.

You have seen us evolutionists correct each other quite frequently here.

Take this as a compliment TC - I only bother to criticize your logic because it is worth criticizing. There are lots of posts with quite appalling logical howlers which are hardly worth dealing with. In your case, you're weakness in logic is subtle and it is its subtlety which leads you into error, because the argument may often look and feel right to an uncritical eye. (You should be a politician.)
