You should also ask yourself why only people with a belief system like yours hold the YEC belief. Why can't you find an agnostic YEC scientist? The answer is because belief in a young earth derives from faith not science. It can't stand on its own evidence.
That's a really good, simple point.
There are many religiously-different scientists.
Christian scientists.
Hindu scientists.
Atheist scientists.
First Nations scientists.
Wiccan scientists.
...probably scientists from each and every different religion you could name on the planet.
But how many religiously-different YECs?
Only Christians.
How many religiously-different Hindu literal-creation-story believers?
Only Hindus.
How many religiously-different First Nations literal-creation-story believers?
Only First Nations people.
How many religiously-different Wiccan literal-creation-story believers?
Only Wiccans.
There's a pattern here.
Why is science so universal?
I know. Tangle knows. Everyone knows.
Except for the Christian literal-creation-story believers. They think it's a worldwide conspiracy against Christianity.
Except for the Hindu literal-creation-story believers. They think it's a worldwide conspiracy against Hinduism.
Except for the First Nations literal-creation-story believers. They think it's a worldwide conspiracy against First Nations.
Except for the Wiccan literal-creation-story believers. They think it's a worldwide conspiracy against Wicca.
If you can't pick up on the 'lesson of humanity' based on these facts... or the obvious religiously-independent universality of science shown here... then you're simply too close-minded into whatever religious cult you currently find yourself.
