I guess what I am trying to say is that for YEC to be correct nearly every aspect of current scientific thinking has to be, not only incorrect, but incorrect in a way that is almost beyond description.

And not only that, but incorrect all in the same way and by the same amount. That's the part that gets me--to believe in a young earth, you have to not only nitpick each line of evidence individually but find some way to dismiss the fact that they all point to the same answer.

What is even more amazing is that the Bible doesn’t place an age on the Earth.

[[but find some way to dismiss the fact that they all point to the same answer.]]

Which is what they do- you may dissagree, and you may choose to beleive in dating methods that have serious problems beyond 7000 or less years, but doing so is a persoanl choice, and is not not scientifically validated factual truths.

fractal wrongness

The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
