No, noggy, you misunderstand. I don't "exhault" my own understanding. I have no model to offer. I place no faith in models.

That is your opinion. Are you now going to tell me that God told you to write this? And as I have pointed out I do not need to adopt your opinion over my own, despite your attempts to force that upon me.

One does not have faith in models. Faith is not a currency in science. Then you go on to deny all the empirical evidence due to either a misunderstanding or willful ignorance. I am not buying into your "plausible deniability" in this regard.

You're exalting your opinion as God's word. And those doctrines are not held by the vast majority of Christians.

I have no model to offer. I place no faith in models.

You've placed your faith in yourself and your particular beliefs, against the Church.

The mineral contents of the oceans and evaporites are orders of magnitude too small to support the supposed age of the world.

You've assumed that the oceans started with zero mineral content, and that we have found all the "evaporates", and that none of them have been subducted and destroyed.

But even with those assumptions, we find that the concentration of sulfates of magnesium and calcium would indicate an age of 80 to 150 million years. Which completely rules out young Earth speculations.
