I have started a thread about that on Christianity StackExchange: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/96177/62325
You know what else is incompatible with YEC? Reality.
This isn’t really a linguistics issue.

Not all arguments against YEC are valid, just like not all arguments against Flat-Earthism is valid. Asking Flat-Earthers "How it is that I feel like I am being pulled downwards?" or "How do the airplanes fly?" is not a valid argument. Asking Flat-Earthers "How it is that the gravitational acceleration measurably changes if you go to a high mountain?" is a valid argument (although it is unlikely to be convincing).
