They appear to believe the Earth is 6,000 years old. Isn’t that just a little bit removed from almost all the evidence?

The selective use of Evidence can prove Anything.

So the question is, who's Evidence are we going to use.

Young earth Creationist's don't want to be limited to the Evidence that the Evolutionists want to use, and the Evolutionist's want to exclude the Evidence that Young earth Creationists want to use.

And to allow the use of all evidence that can pass empirical muster, would be Unfair.

What ‘evidence’ are you referrign to? Do you mean removed from some people’s opinions about what the empiracle known facts mean based on their belief in systems that have problems dating materials beyond 7000 or less years? No- it is not removed from the empiracle facts- it is however removed from old age believers opinions however. There is plenty of evidences that suggest young earth as well. It would seem, that old age advocates beliefs are removed from the young age evidences as well. Every refuting young earth evidence is simply explained away with more imaginary scenarios about past events for which scientists have no idea as to what actually happened or what conditions existed- it’s all a big guessing game.
