More and more (after reading Meyers) . .

Meyers has nothing to do with it. It's following information where it leads. The decay of isotopes into daughter elements has been established with a consistency (unlike the evolution of fruit flies into bees).

But I'm not laughing at the YECers. They have a faith and they are trying to find a science to back it up. That's a strategy that has reaped benefits before -- think Pasteur.

And It's certainly not beneficial to chase intelligent Bible-believing young Christians away from science by demanding orthodoxy -- just so long as they can articulate the arguments for Old Earth.

And, maybe, before the throne of judgement, God is going to say, "You know, they were right. This is how it was done." Fine by me. The age of the Earth is really not that important.

They have faith in the false science of the creationist propagandists and have no interest in true science.

I would say that the YEC'ers are the ones chasing young Christians away from science by demanding orthodoxy.

Did you just make that up?
