Discussion about scientific issues as they relate to God and Christianity including archaeology, origins of life, the universe, intelligent design, evolution, etc.
While there are many religious people here, there have been to my knowledge only 1 or 2 YEC's in the last 20 years. There are more atheists than predicted based on overall population.
Could it be that that majority of 'religous' people don't stringently hold to either position, but are (for lack of a better word) creation neutral?
I am curious though how one 'observes' YEC.

Yes.

Well, when someone says they believe the world is 6,000 to 10,000 years old, that is a pretty good indicator.
One "observes" Christianity, by observing the person of Jesus Christ. Perhaps, one observes YEC, by observing the person on whom modern-day YEC is based: Ken Ham.
