What we need is some kind of middle ground - you need to understand that the rest of us disagree with you just as much as we need to understand that the Bible to you is just as authoritative as direct observation. It's not science, but it allows for debate.
I will put my thought on this in and then I am going to drop out because I don't think there are grounds for an effective debate here. There is no middle ground between inerrent biblical literalism and geology. As long as one side is going to say "This is what God says" and there is no debating it there will not be a "middle ground". If on the other hand the YEC side would admit that there is a possibility, however tiny, that they might be wrong about what God said you would at least have some grounds for a debate. Barring that, I think the whole thing is wasted time so I pledge to stay out of it after this post.
