I thought that it was pretty obivously written for creationists. There is no mention of the doubts about YEC views TC has expressed on these boards - it may be that these have been omitted because a creationist audience would have a negative reaction to any suggestion that the results we already have are very strongly against their preusppositions (cf Glen Morton's experiences, while still a creationist).

Well I would assume that it is written for creationists who beleive that their views can be scientifically supported and who care about scientific credibility.
OK, some creationists would be put off by ANY criticism of creationism. But it is certainly possible that there are those that might be receptive to a case for improving the quality of their arguments.
But if it is not written for creationists - and YECs at that - then who COULD it be written for ? TC has no need to suppress the views he has expressed here to any other audience. Who else would object to the fact that TC has concluded that the Earth is probably older than 10,000 years ?
