The problem here is that no skeptic here has any reason to believe in your Theory. They seek evidence. Their skepticism is understandable if there is a naturalistic explanation, THAT is why PaulK is frustrated. It's not that he's against you Arkathon, it's just that he's got no reason to believe the earth is young.
ANyone seen the british show, "Most Haunted" on TV? The problem with that show is that you actually
never ever see a ghost. What you do see is "orbs", yat the skeptic would call it dust on the camera reflecting light. Also, chairs move, doors slam. But should the skeptic believe because of doors slamming and people acting in a irrational manner?
I've also seen people posessed on this program. The problem is, they could also just be acting. So, when you apply some kind of spiritual Theory to answer a young universe, a person with a knowledge of science is just going to say, "far fetched attempt to explain a young earth". EVEN if your idea held truth. It's like that program, it is unsatisfying to the mind, when show after show, you see nothing but people acting frightened in the dark. So that is why skeptics aren't going to buy into your idea. I myself also believe in the bible, but it doesn't mention this seperation of spiritual light and physical light, as far as I know.
I'm not against your idea Arkethon, but obviously atheists here aren't going to buy it.
