You’ve walked onto thin ice here.
I have pointed out on previous threads that Young Earth Creationism implies that Yahweh acts like Loki the Trickster. That is, the overwhelming evidence of the earth’s old age is either real, or God is misleading us.
Secondly, if God “doesn’t do wasteful,” then life can’t begin at conception—since many millions of zygotes are created but discarded from the womb before the mother even knows a conception has occurred.
Huh? “Thin ice”?
To understand God’s Word is getting onto thin ice?
Not only that, but to suppose that he’s “misleading” people just because certain people don’t get it, is every bit as ridiculous.
As far as wasteful eggs, they’re not fertilized yet, it takes two to tango sort o speak.
That’s like saying it’s wasteful to have created all the oxygen particles in the atmosphere merely because they’re not all consumed by oxygen consumers.
"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?)

I didn't write about unfertilized eggs.
Please address what I wrote instead of a red herring. Thanks.

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