Intense study and exhaustive research, of course. Lets take hell, for example. What does the old English word mean? What does the Hebrew and Greek words commonly translated as hell mean? How do those two compare? How does the Bible use the idea or concept compared to the doctrine? What evidence is there of an adoption of pagan teachings?
The same questions can be applied from the YEC teachings as well. How is the English word day used? What are the Hebrew, Greek and Latin (From the Masoretic, Septuagint and Vulgate) words and how are they used? What influence did thinking in the dark ages have on modern perceptions compared to more primitive ones?
