My lack of knowledge that you complain about is therefore irrelevant because it doesn't relate to anything I'm actually trying to do.
So, I'll ask again. What is the point? What are you actually trying to do?
I think it's sad that people will choose "science" over God's word, it's sad and dangerous both.
People are not choosing science, they are choosing evidence over no evidence, knowledge over ignorance.
On my part I don't need to know any more than enough to try to make a case for a VERY FEW ideas about how the young earth explains some phenomena better than the old earth.
And you have totally failed to present a single shred of evidence that supports a young earth.
Since I'm completely persuaded of the young earth view, the old earth view can only be some kind of illusion that is so ingrained it would not be easy to break it.
Finally, it all comes down to "magic". All the evidence from more than a dozen fields of science are an "illusion".
Your whole argument is that your god created an Earth, in fact a Universe, that is an illusion. All the evidence, gathered over hundreds of years, by millions of scientists, that confirms that the Earth is very old, is all an illusion created by your god, to fool us.
Why have you spent so much time trying to twist that illusionary evidence to support your view?
You could have just said "God used magic to create everything and for the fun of it made sure that it looked old, and no matter how hard and long we studied it, we would never find evidence that it is young." and been done with it.
The sum total of your argument is
magic and illusion. No wonder you're arrogant.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
