Firstly, The fact that Copernicous etc were YEC is irrelevant as that was all that was known at the time. Much as Copernicous showed the Earth was not at the centre of the universe, later sceintist discovered the earth was much older than thought. Secondly, Carl Sagans book, Cosmos, which I am unable to quote verbatim, has a section on the great library and a very well researched history of the Libraries destruction.
And lastly, mankinds curiosity about the world around him will cause him to research and study regardless of religion. Its how we learn. China and the Greeks are a fine example of science WITHOUT chirstian influence.
