I've held to a YEC for quite some time, and hashed through the issues as well. I have found that Answers in Genesis tends to be very flippant however when dealing with the issue. If we want to redeem the academy (and I think we do) we've got serious work to do in the scientific fields. Mark Noll in his book The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind blasts YEC out of the water, saying how awful it has been for Christian scholarship. There simply are too few scientists doing research in this field. And, to further the dilemma, I don't intend to get a PhD in the natural sciences!
