Sounds a lot like the Christians of yesteryear insisting the Earth was the absolute center of the entire universe and all things literally revolved around the earth. Oh yes, we now look back and can clearly show in the Bible and in science why they were wrong, I truely believe the same will happen on this subject. In the future, our children will look back at the YEC and be amused at their improper understanding of both the Bible and sciences explainations. But be advised, Christianity will survive in spite of the notions of YEC.

A person can imagine the ultimatum given, "Either you believe that the Earth is the center of the Universe (as much as the concept of the "Universe" was understood then) or you might as well throw the whole Book away!".
