TC says "Mainstream science does have quite a bit more headway than that of YECists research initiatives, so I see no reason to say that looking toward the future isn't scientifically coherent."
What utter rubbish. YEC has the advantage of piggybacking on the research that has been done over the last 200 years by real scientists, it is not starting from scratch. Yet using all of the modern tools and techniques available to them YECs have no idea which strata in the geological column area result a a biblical flood. I think TC's "productive cerebral attitude" is actually self-delusion. Surely his efforts with Joe Meert might have made him aware of the huge deficiencies in the YEC scenario compared with the detailed, consistent model provided by conventional science.
