The problem is it is all so indirect, based on isotope ratios in a few tiny mineral grains taken rocks that are incredibly metamorphosed to start with. Plus theoretical models that are vased on assumptions, reasonable perhaps, but still assumptions.

Strange how topics seem to come in spurts. In the ITWire:
according to an Australian ancient-earth researcher, about two to three billion years ago most of the Earth was buried under six to nine miles (10 to 15 kilometers) of lava from a series of volcanic explosions. The
abstract of the article they cite doesn't directly support their lead-in, and parts of the ITWire article don't inspire confidence in their scientific literacy ("the volcanoes went dormant but eventually repeated the cycle after about 100,000 to 150,000 million years"
).
