Froggie, boy-o. My father spent some of his formative years in Texas, so he kept coming up with expressions from that region (much to the confusion of my son who grew up in California). A favorite was to inform us that he was about to explain to us how the cow ate the cabbage. That means that we're going to tell you exactly like it is, whether you want to hear it or not.
Your creationist sources are lying to you.
True, that specific creationist passing on to you
uncritically the same old tired creationist BS that they've been dishing out for several decades (and which was soundly refuted that long ago) might not realize that they are lying. When you pass a complete and utter falsehood on to another person, the usual test of whether you are lying or not is whether you yourself know that that falsehood is indeed false. And yet the result is the same, isn't it?
You want to be a YEC? Well, that's your choice, not isn't it? You want to convince us that you're right? Well then you're going to need to provide us with some scientific evidence. None of the standard creationist BS (which we've been hearing for several decades, which didn't cut it then, and which still does not cut it now).
Actual scientific evidence!
Here's a clue for you: the leading lights of "creation science" (which is actually a deliberate deception to fool the public and to circumvent the courts post-Epperson vs Arkansas (1968)) have repeatedly and consistently failed to present any such evidence for all the time (since circa 1970) that they have falsely claimed to possess massive quantities of such evidence.
Do you believe that you can produce that which the greatest minds of "creation science" (please allow us a moment to appreciate the irony of that sentence) have in four decades been unable and unwilling to produce? Then please do proceed.
Even though I have explained to you how the cow ate the cabbage.
PS
Listen to Granny. He's telling you the same thing.
