As I see it, there are two variations of a scenario:
1) The geological mainstream view:
There is evidence of a long pre-intrusion process history of the Earth's geology. Then a granitic intrusion happens with a long history from injection to total solidity. Actually this long history is long only on the YEC timescale - Geologically is is pretty short, but still thousands to millions of years. Then there is further evidence of a further long post-intrusion process history.
2) The Gentry YEC view:
There is a short pre-intrusion process history of the Earth's geology. Then a granitic intrusion happens with an instant total solidity. Then there is a further short post-intrusion process history.
Now as I understand it, Gentry actually says nothing about the pre and post-intrusion history time frames. As such the scenario is unknown time period, instant creation, and unknown time period. But I guess the implied conclusion is that since there was an instant granite intrusion creation, it follows that the pre-intrusion period was also instantaneous. Which at best, even if you would accept the "instant granite" part, would be a case of instant creation with an appearance of great age.
Now setting aside any pre and post-intrusion considerations:
Why does an "instant" granite equate to a young (YEC time scale) granite? Why couldn't Gentry's halo granites have been instantly created millions or billions of years ago?
Or something like that.
