If I were still a young earth creationist, ...

What happened? I am interested because I think it's likely most anti-Es are simply ignorant of evolution and science generally.

I was raised in a church that taught YE creationism and wanted to believe it, but saw problems in the evidence in the physical world. I went to a Christian college that is officially YE and hoped that they would help clarify things, but all they offered was criticism of various points of evolution with no coherent YE explanation given for all of the data. I'm now in grad school (in the sciences) and in my personal studying on the topic I've decided the young earth/anti-evolutionist position is untenable considering the facts. My reading regarding this has been pretty comprehensive--I've hit biology, genetics, chemistry, geology, and cosmology. I just finished a book on theories of the origin of the solar system (although I admit I skimmed over the calculus!), which is why the previous poster's response to the article irked me so much.
