Now, with most YECs the literal interpretation of Genesis is deemed "sacred." Nothing from the "profane" (science, history, etc) can alter their ideology that Genesis must be interpreted as exact historical events. They have placed their entire theology on this requirement. They claim that in order for christian "salvation" to make any sense there must have been an actual Adam and Eve and an actual snake and an actual apple. No amount of profane evidence could sway them from changing thier "sacred."
I think you'll find that there are many ex-YECs who have been swayed by profane evidence to change their "sacred".
