One major question that must be answered is whether the idea that there is more than one way to interpret evidence and science is a valid and logical idea.
There are of course multiple ways of interpreting evidence, but with competing models or hypotheses, not all are of equal value.
The differences will lie in their ability to organize and explain relevant evidence, without being contradicted by relevant evidence. The more evidence that can be explained successfully by a model or hypothesis, the more useful it will be. If there are many lines of contradictory evidence, it is almost certain that the model or hypothesis is wrong.
This is where the YEC model runs into problems. For both the age of the earth and a global flood during historic times, there is a huge amount of contradictory evidence and virtually no supporting evidence. It is clear that the YEC model is a religious belief which is adhered to strictly for religious reasons.
To support the YEC model requires ignoring or hand-waving away a huge amount of contradictory evidence. Likewise, the YEC model does a very poor job of organizing and explaining real-world evidence.
That is the sign of a failed model or hypothesis.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
