It's from 1998.
Can you provide more details?
I thought that old earth creationism started in the 19th century when the christian scientists were discovering multiple lines of evidence that pointed to a multmillion year old Earth. So I assume, the first converters from YEC to OEC were those scientists since they were no willing to let go of their ancestrial religion/customs.
(Note: yes, I understand that there are 3 or 4 version sof OEC).
