So write this up as a scientific paper and submit it to an academic
journal. You've repeated this same, tired argument over and over
again, and simply refuse to address the fact that it is based on
nothing more than unfounded assertions.

Calling the people who point this out to you liars is not much of an
argument.

Of course, you know that your arguments won't stand up to any sort of
scrutiny, which is why you don't submit them to any sort of academic
scrutiny.

You can fool the creationists, but you know perfectly well that you
can't fool any respectable scientist or scientific editor.

Arguments from authority are pretty lame and simply not helpful to me
or to anyone who might be following this thread.

It's not an argument from authority.
It's a challenge to you to submit your ideas in a format where they
will be subject to academic criticism. You claim that nobody here
understands your mathematical model well enough to challenge it. Fine.
Present it to people who *do* understand mathematics well enough to
understand it. Prove your critics wrong.

Did I miss the argument? Would it really matter if I convinced the
whole world? Would that be enough to convince you?

If it would, that is what is known as an argument from authority. You
would be convinced, in such a case, not because of the arguments
themselves, but because of who else accepts the arguments.

You see, it really shouldn't matter if an argument has been published
or not. You should be able to recognize it for what it is and
successfully expose its flaws with relevant counter arguments or, if
you cannot find any significant flaws, accept it as being a good
argument - - regardless of if it has been published by the
extraordinarily biased gatekeepers of mainstream science journals.
