Yes, I think you are wrong. If you go back to when geology and other
sciences were developing, in the late 18th and early 19th century, you
will find that the prevailing paradigm among church laiety was YEC (I
know Michael Roberts will disagree--my defense of this is at
http://home.entouch.net/dmd/nineteenth.htm) . Given that, when the data
over and over again contradicted the YEC view, but the YECs didn't
change, scientists begain to reject the Bible. I would recommend a book
called God's Funeral for a discussion of how Victorian society gave up
on God. Much of that rejection was due to the commonly held
interpretations of the Bible were factually false. The modern YECs are
merely a hold over from that crowd. They haven't had a new or novel
thought in about 200 years.
