This argument is not new, by any stretch.  See my note in the preceding entry.  The very position of the stars and galaxies is also "disproved" by science and its offering of a 13.5 Billion year universe.  To answer the original question, I think that you must concede that YEC is based on faith alone.  But you must also concede that a 13.5 Billion year universe is based on faith alone or make up pseudoscience as well.  If the Earth is actually 3.5 Billion years old, and mankind has been here for 5 Million years through the evolutionary cycle, then science cannot explain why we find nothing written, no culture, no evidence of human settlements that exceed about 6,000 years ago.  The earliest known writing found in clay tablets is in Pakistan from 5,500 years ago.  If mankind has been here in this form for 5 Million years, then why did he do nothing lasting for the first 99.995% of his existence?  In the last 0.005% of man's theoretical evolutionary existence, he has gone from first and claw to clubs to pointed sticks, to knives, to firearms, to cannons, and to the atomic bomb; but he achieved nothing prior to this. This is like being behind 24-0 in a sixty minute football game with 1.8 seconds left in the 4th quarter, and then scoring 27 points to win the game before the clock expires.

It is less plausible than creation and requires far more magic and faith to belief than the alternate theory. --[[User:swbuza|swbuza]] 11:23, 25 Aug 2011 (EDT)
