If you believe in the creation (actually definition) of the 24 hour
day from observing natural noon (i.e., sun transit) cycles, why is
the measurement of the sidereal day from the observation of natural
star transit cycles "nonsense"?

Do you believe that the observed difference between solar and sidereal
day length is due to the effect of the earth/sun orbital motion throwing
off the apparent sidereal day (relative to the "natural" solar day?)
