Nothing a YEC believes clashes with science. All of those things you mentioned are INTERPRETATIONS of the evidence and they are based on an evolutionary worldview. I can see the fossil record, the rock layers etc etc. Just because you SAY that they support evolution that doesn’t make it so. You believe that the layers were laid down over millions of years. I believe they were laid down by the flood. Same facts and we reach different conclusions. You weren’t there to see it happen so don’t tell me that your conclusion is based on science. Radiometric dating has it’s own set of problems beginning with the fact that it has to presume ALOT. Presumption isn’t science.

You again CLAIM that there are geocentric freepers but you name none. Besides the Bible doesn’t say that the sun revolves around the earth.

The plain reading of Genesis is a regular day. Genesis is history. You have to jump through hoops to explain it away. Psalms is songs and poetry. You don’t read it literally. That is what I mean by a plain reading of scripture. You read history as history, allegory as allegory. It really isn’t hard to understand.

Yes, the “interpretation” is that that if you see light from an object one hundred million light years away, that light took one hundred million years to get here.

The “interpretation” is that if the half life of a radioisotope is a million years, you would expect to see only half of it radioactive after a million years.

Presumption IS science.

Science starts with a presumption, which is called a hypothesis.

But unlike your presumption of infallibility of scriptural interpretation, science actually TESTS its presumptions against the evidence.

Everything a YEC believes clashes with science. It is antithetical to the scientific method to claim “I know the answer, and I know just how to twist the data to fit what I already know from religious doctrine.”
