Not only that, but to suppose that he’s “misleading” people just because certain people don’t get it, is every bit as ridiculous.

"Don't get it" in what way??

Obviously, the earth can't be on;y a few thousand years old without (a) MAJOR changes in laws of physics (so major that they'd be bizarre...roasting anything on the earth with faster radioactive decay, which would require wood being non-flammable in the past, etc., or (b) God created it with the look and evidence of age (e.g., trapped argon gas at levels that correspond to millions of years of potassium breakdown, etc.)

I suggest that even if God didn't just make things look old, and instead changed the laws of physics so radically from how things work now, it's misdirection. Besides, if He did that, then the definition of time and "days" is meaningless. (BTW, I don't know (m)any YECs who acknowledge time as anything other than an external universal dimension. Do you acknowledge the work of Einstein and others who followed?)

As far as wasteful eggs, they’re not fertilized yet, it takes two to tango sort o speak.

I didn't write about unfertilized eggs.

Please address what I wrote instead of a red herring. Thanks.

To understand God’s Word is getting onto thin ice?

No...To base understanding of God's Word on willful disregard of the evidence.

c. something you don’t understand...

Like for instance Man being created in God’s image a fully functioniing adult. If God can do that, then certainly he can create a world that looks older than it is.

It’s not “willfull disregard of the evidence”.

It’s interpreting it in a way that some can not or will not acknowledge.
