Yeah, lots did then. Hugh Miller in The Testimony of the Rocks for starters
and hundreds of others who did not take Genesis literally and only a few who
did.
Remember YEC has been a minority viewpoint since 1800 - except in the USA
from 1961 and it is growing here but I prefer to take a traditional and
Victorian interpretation of Genesis and ignore these recent heretical
innovations of Henry Morris et al.
