YEC Problem with Science Above and Beyond Evolution

Reading the first post here, looking at the extensive list of fields of knowledge that would have to change or dissapear in order for the YEC theory to even be considerable, it makes me wonder how can anyone begin to believe YEC.
I like what RGB has said here about knowledge is power (and i'm beginning to guess that something you said in the morality forum was a joke).
Religion has always been about power. Those who pass down the teachings claim they KNOW for sure that its true and those who listen are dumbfounded. Do they think that the teacher is some supreme chosen one with all the answers. Surely with an ounce of sence you'd see through it all.
But what about if thats what you've been told your whole life, maybe you'd believe it. And that is why YEC should be kept out of schools no question.
