YEC's have abandoned a thick water vapor canopy hypothesis

Vernon,
YEC's have abandoned the "thick water vapor canopy," hypothesis. So the
"waters above" could not have been "massive."
Young earth critiques of the canopy hypothesis:

CANOPY TEMPERATURE PROFILES. Fourth International Conference on
Creationism Pittsburgh, PA (from Institute for Creation Research).

Meanwhile, the "continental zip" hypothesis also requires miracles of
instantaneous cooling, as Humphries admits.
