It would take a lot to bring it back, such as for a terminal for the W or a future Nassau Street service.

Considering that the upper level for the D train is used for terminating trains, how would the lower level get renovated?

Plus if I reading the available track maps correctly, the lower level does really offer that much extra capability. Now if all tracks on the lower level could be terminating tracks to return trains to Manhattan, that would be different.

They only have the middle track / upper level of 9th Avenue. Lower level would give them more.

And that might make it worth renovating, even if such is a barebones renovation to get everything up to snuff to use as a terminal, especially if it can be done where such can be used when conditions close the outdoor platforms.

Why would the outdoor platforms be closed since they need to be in use for through service. Even if rehabbed, the lower level could only be used as a terminal and not for through service.

Just the opposite - its science that has yet to explain the "Big Bang" hypothesis. There is no theory to explain the origin of the superheated, superconcentrated ball of matter that exploded, forming the known universe.

Religion does not have to prove anything. Faith, by definition, believes in the intangible and the invisible, things that cannot be proven.

Religion's solution to science's ignorance is to just make shit up. Science is at least honest about what it knows and doesn’t know.

And things that are “intangible” and “invisible” can definitely be proven. Nobody’s ever seen a neutrino, but science knows they exist.

When the M terminated at 9th Ave, it just used the normal station upstairs. No real need to use a whole separate station, no less taking away the cross platform transfers upstairs too.

And it's just bizarre. There isn't even enough capacity on the 4th Avenue line to absorb that many trains without diverting trains from Bay Ridge or Sea Beach or cutting back West End trains. If there were a need for that many trains, then they would be better off running them to Bay Parkway or even 62nd Street. Wallyhorse just likes to come up with service plans for the sake of service plans.

Snow drifts three feet deep.

But then it would also close the tracks that are in the open depression between 4th Ave and 9th Ave.

LION would run the (RR) train from Astoria to Forth Hamilton via Broadway Local. (Him has said this before. 9th Ave Lower level can be configured into a staging facility for trains tio lay up over night.

All of the excess capacity can be served by the middle track at 9th Avenue if necessary.

This is meaningless and incoherent. Science is an endeavour— it's something you do, not something you are. Anybody can do science, and there's nothing that can make your actions intrinsically scientific.

So if a Catholic theologian discovers the origin of the universe through observation and experimentation, then the question of how the universe came to be has been answered by science. And if a squad of people who dedicated their careers to doing science reject that discovery because it conflicts with their deeply-held beliefs, then the discovery was rejected irrationally because of blind faith, and in direct contravention of science.

So even if the first half of your claim (before the comma) is true, the entire claim would be meaningless.
