"Another big problem with YEC is that the measured age of the sun is 5 billion years."

Geez dude. You've really got a confused definition of 'measured' if you think the age of the sun has been 'measured'. There's no way. It's an inference based on extrapolations based on assumptions.

This fact escapes most people when they argue for the age of anything "ancient". One should also consider the opportunity (likelihood) of errors in the measurement systems.
