It actually dawned on myself, rather slowly, that not all creationists are YECs (but all YECs are creationists).
—"TheLiteralist"
I prefer to leave the "C" out of any discussion myself and just refer to "YEC" as "YE". The reason is that I want to force yeccies to present scientific evidence for a young earth rather than endlessly argue about "what if God did this?" or "what if God did that?" discussions. I've often challenged YEists to show how accelerated decay fits the physical evidence. Surely there must be SOME evidence -- mutant flora and fauna, lava flows where there shouldn't be, huge deposits of evaporates where there shouldn't be, etc, etc. I challenge YEC to become YE and provide the science that will make people like me listen. Otherwise, it's just the same old hocus-pocus I was taught when I was young and gullible.
