Anything approaching scientific in the Young Earth camp is not so much about scientifically proving a young earth as it is about trying to poke holes in what the rest of the world recognizes as true. In practice, this means quote mining to show scientist are either wrong or unsure, and trying to explain away evidence with ideas like, "god put the fossils in the ground to test our faith." Other than the Bible itself, I haven't ever seen any evidence of a young earth, only stupid attempts to explain away the evidence of an ancient earth. It's Christian apologetics applied to science.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
