The fact that you put quotation marks around the word "debates" and claimed that YE C's main objective is to baffle people just kind of turned me off. But we can agree to disagree. Okay?

The "view" that the earth is just 6,000 to 10,000 years old isn't just an "alternate opinion" that may or may not be valid. It is ridiculous.
Sorry, but it's really that simple. Every one of the YEC "ministries" has resorted to publishing out and out lies in an attempt to bolster their delusions. As a young believer that was my first clue to the problems of this "other view." They lie and deceive.
If you can't understand simple chemical and nuclear processes then you have no business in a lab where such processes must be understood and predicted. If it's all just a matter of subjective make believe for you then you're going to eventually blow something up.
For myself, what got blown apart was the whole YEC delusion.
Teaching my children to observe the local traffic laws is not "condescension" and "belittling" alternate opinions. It's intended to keep them informed and alive. It's really the same thing with the natural world in general.
