Sure, there are many people in the pews like Walt's friend who believe the Earth is young but accept that a faithful Christian could disagree. As Burgy mentioned, even some leaders of the YEC movement may admit that in private. But if you read a YEC book or see a YEC presentation, almost always the message will be that YEC is the *only* Christian position.

Two points:
1.) I would like to see some proof of this statement. When I look at the
ICR website (www.icr.org), I see no indication of this. The cited
criteria to be a Christian are what I generally see posted here.
2.) If the "leaders" feel that way but many "believers" do not, then one
should give any specific individual the benefit of the doubt.
