I am not clear what the side issue here is exactly.
Discussion of geology is clearly on topic in the other thread. About the only thing that's off topic in the other thread would seem to be complaints that geologists are not practicing real science because their results contradict the Bible. Or accusations that only YEC believers are real Biblical Christians.
Perhaps this thread should have gone through the vetting process. In my opinion, the topic belongs in some forum. Perhaps one of the Faith based forums?

Maybe it could be moved to some other forum for miscellaneous or eclectic conversations.
Perhaps my attempt at tact is hindering communication. In my opinion, this thread could be in the same forum with the original thread or it could be in the geology forum. Putting it in Coffee house simply circumvents the thread approval process. Coffee house is for non EvC discussion.

If you cannot be bothered to propose a thread, perhaps your own blog could host the discussion?

Are you going to come to my blog for the discussion?
Of course not.
Anyway, why are you so concerned about this thread if the admins are leaving it alone?
This thread exists simply because you cannot stand the idea of people talking about YEC beliefs without getting a chance to have your say. When you claim that people are forcing you to participate against your will, and then you start a bogus thread to do so, I think that's an observation worth a comment or two.

Re: What-ifs
The thing about my what-ifs as you call them, is that they are in many cases plausible alternatives to the conventional view.
Lots of ideas seem plausible prior to vetting them. It is simply no good coming up with ideas that at the time of conception are inconsistent with the existing evidence.
The lack of knowledge works against the absolute novice, particularly one who will not take the time to reject any of his own ideas.
I think just the alternative views I've accumulated so far, in both geology and biology, add up to a very serious challenge to the conventional view.
Yes, but the standard for evaluating 'serious challenge' is quite low, namely 'Can I maintain my own beliefs in the face of scientists saying otherwise'.
