First, I don't know if those signers find the Young Earth in scripture, it isn't mentioned in the document. I think it's pretty inescapable myself but I don't want to impose that on them. My own view is that it is there and that means the Old Earth is simply wrong. The document merely says that wherever there is conflict with science the Bible is right and will eventually be shown to be right.
I don't see geocentrism in the Bible though.
Plenty of people saw Geocentrism in the Bible, and they used the same exact arguments you are using for a young Earth. We might as well throw a Flat Earth into the mix as well.
Let's say I have a text that I claim is inerrant because it came from a deity. My interpretation of that text leads me to believe that it unequivocally states that the Earth is flat. Wouldn't you conclude that the text I have is in error and was therefore not written by a deity? If so, do you understand the problems that YEC poses for biblical inerrancy?
