Science works well enough if it’s done right. Man looks around and Measure things that are percieved. The Scientist takes a stick and makes marks on it and says “This will be my Measuring Stick. My Hypothesis shall be that I can Measure all things using this stick. Assumimg all things, including Time, are the same Everywhere ( every When) I can calculate How much Time separated This Event from That Event.
But the Scientist admits “I don’t understand the nature of Time. It’s constancy is only my Working Hypothesis. It is a Variable dependant on the Assumptions made about the Nature of Light, Space, Distance. It is based on Reality As I Percieve It, Here and Now”. So We measure and calculate. Our Math gives numerical results. We can ponder but we can’t understand Time. I am a trained scientist. I emjoy the pondering but I’m also a Child of God. I also ponder His recorded Word.
As to “thin dry air” and “dry modern physics” (nice phrasing!) there is in answer the forgotten fifth element, the aether, put to pasture by Einstein’s incorrect special relativity, his understanding of the laws of physics, and with it calculations of the speed of light in his (presumed) vacuum. We take nothing from genius. But if it is true that “Nature abhors a vacuum” then there cannot be ‘nothing’ once the Divine Nature, God the Creator, creates the ‘something’ so gloriously recorded in Genesis.
Acts 13:41 KJV - Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

What if they weren’t made by human hands but fallen hands

You defend your faith with gusto brother!
I thought we were still in the ice age that long ago. But what do I know.🤔
What’s your take on a Pre-Ademic race?
When God is silent, we should be silent as well.
