Using this logic, since the ten commandments, including "Thou shalt
not kill," were not given until Moses, Cain wasn't guilty of anything,
which would make us wonder why God was upset. Isn't YEC logic amazing?

Please note that the Septuagint version of the OT uses the word
"fountain" not "mist." It probably refers to irrigation rather than
a vapor canopy.

The resultant greenhouse effect of such a canopy also would have cooked
the pre-flood inhabitants.
