The problem isn’t unanswered questions.
The problem is that you keep treating your own untestable assumptions as neutral “evidence” while dismissing any model that includes a Creator or global cataclysm as automatically invalid.
As someone actually studying astrophysics and spending real time in the creation science literature, I’m not defaulting to Genesis because science has gaps.
I’m pointing out that your “converging lines of evidence” (radiometric, ice cores, tree rings, varves) are heavily cross-calibrated to the same uniformitarian framework and the evolutionary fossil story.
That’s not independent confirmation, that’s circularity.
Recent lava flows dated millions of years old expose the assumption failure when we can actually check the method.

The Big Bang made some predictions, sure. It also still needs inflation to rescue its horizon and flatness problems, and it has zero explanation for the origin of the information and order we observe.
Creation cosmologies handle the same data (CMB, expansion, light elements) without forcing 13.8 billion years. My earlier post on this wasn’t “Genesis wins by default,” it was noting the model’s own serious cracks.

Baraminology isn’t “creationist bookkeeping.” It’s the work of credentialed biologists like Todd Charles Wood who have published peer-reviewed studies in the Creation Research Society Quarterly and Answers Research Journal using statistical methods (BDIST) to map real discontinuities in the data instead of assuming Darwinian continuity by default.
Dismissing an entire field because it doesn’t start with your conclusion is not how science works.
Marine fossils on Everest and the ordered fossil record are not solved by slow plate tectonics. Dr. John Baumgardner’s catastrophic plate tectonics modeling (UCLA PhD Geophysics, Los Alamos) shows how runaway subduction during the Flood rapidly deposited massive sediment packages and then quickly uplifted mountain ranges while the layers were still soft.
That explains both the elevation and the ecological ordering (successive burial of habitats) far better than slow uplift after hundreds of millions of years. The delicate structures you mention are preserved precisely because of rapid burial in a cataclysm, not gradual processes.

Human genetics is fully compatible with a recent pair plus post-Flood bottleneck. The “ancestral populations of thousands” narrative is an interpretation layered on top of the data, not raw fact. Creation geneticists have published models showing this works.
You keep accusing me of starting with Genesis and forcing the data. But you started with “Genesis must be false” and “no global Flood is even possible,” then labeled everything that fits a biblical framework as “pretzel twisting” or “theology in a lab coat.”
That’s not following evidence wherever it leads. That’s methodological naturalism.
“Education, it does the mind good.”
Then actually read the literature instead of repeating the same talking points.
If your position requires redefining “science” as “whatever conclusion remains after we a priori rule out the biblical history,” then the one doing philosophy isn’t me defending Genesis.
It’s the guy pretending his worldview is the neutral default.
Enormous bends, folds, and extensive layers in the geologic record provide excellent evidence for the rapid growth of mountains and sinking of valleys after a Global Flood.
