You're getting it backwards. Fundamentalists are driven to YEC because of their literal interpretation of the Bible.

Nobody has looked at the evidence and said, "Yup, it looks like the earth is 6,000 years old, and all the life forms arose in a week." But the Bible says that's what happened, so they have to believe it.
