I'm not sure how you can say that YEC is not even worthy of being considered an "alternate opinion."

Some of the most widely-respected and educated contemporary evangelical teachers are young-earth, six-day creationists including Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Dr. Albert Mohler, Dr. Ligon Duncan, and the late Dr. D. James Kennedy. (If you want sources, I'll get them for you.)

Also, as I'm sure you know, the vast majority of the church leaders throughout history held the same view. And there are many documented PhD scientists from respected schools around the world who hold to YEC.
