The mainstream guys who have responded here are correct - there is very good evidence for 4.5 billion years of decay in the rocks. The only way out for YECs is
accelerated decay. There are hints of this in scripture and science and it can all work together if accelerated decay generated the crustal heat that tectonically brought on the flood. Search for 'accelerated decay' on this web site for discussions.
