You appear to be behind the curve on this one. The Southern Baptists have appointed a new director for their Center for Theology and Science who has said:
Given what we currently think we understand about the world, the majority of the scientific evidence favors an old earth and universe, not a young one. I would therefore say that anyone who claims that the earth is young for scientific evidence alone is scientifically ignorant.
no one is saying we base this on science alone, as kurt wise, the person quoted, is a YEC himself. we beleive in God’s word that it was created in 6 days, and then with that starting point, we are able to use the same science techniques that secularist types use to arrive at a YEC conclusion.
if you use science alone, i.e. bereft of the God that created the very physical laws that govern science, you can come up with another view point.
