Every science suffers from the “settled science” phenomenon. It is human nature. A real scientist should always have a keen awareness of the edge of what is known and expend efforts towards understanding past what is known. Time spent evangelizing and defending what is known against both the unknown and those who ask about the unknown is pointless and unscientific.
Retreating to your credentials is defensive behavior, not scientific behavior.
I’m sorry, you are lecturing from a point of demonstrated ignorance. Every time I rebut one of your points, you just create another nonsensical point. Now you are clamoring about settled science - which involves theories, not observations. Geological formations have been extensively mapped in the field, and correlated over time and extent, so your attempting to hold contrary positions to observations made over decades is just a will to hold on to your position in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary of that position.
