I keep trying to tell everyone, from personal experience, that the only way to convince a YEC that their belief in a young Earth / universe is wrong is to speak their language! Explain to them how the literal six "twenty-four hour" time slots in Gen. 1 (for that is what they cling to) is a complete misinterpretation - make them question the interpretation of what is written without threatening or challenging their belief in a creator. Then they will be open and willing to listen to what you have to say. Try it! (And if it doesn't seem to be working, refer them to me, and I'll straighten them out for you.
