Infer you haven't read my book.

"The Hebrew word ‘op that has been translated “fowl,” is a “flying
creature,” the same basic word for “insect” which probably would have been
a better translation. Flying insects date to 300 million years ago in the
Carboniferous period, and were useful for pollinating some of the
vegetation springing forth at about that time. Also, why would “fowls” be
mentioned three times in three consecutive passages (Gen.1:20-22)? If
birds had been intended in all three instances it would be a curious
redundancy."

Many of us on this list have proved the entire YEC scenario dead wrong, and
any one who advocates for it is dead wrong. But you have persisted in
maintaining an indefensible position in spite of having been availed of
some of the best minds and information accumulated in one place. You have
been presented evidence in abundance, and yet persist when you should long
ago have seen your errors and done what all YECs should do - reflect,
recoil, recant and repent.

You are surrounded by Rolex's.
