One thing that I keep aware of is that the YEC assault on science is not just on biology (via attacking evolution), but also has to carry over into the other sciences since many of them have underlying sort of universal theories or mechanisms that do not fit the YEC world view.

Geology is one of them since an old Earth is pretty important for the theories and models that we use. That’s one reason that I was glad that the 45 minute talk I attended today started off with the presenter mentioning that plate tectonics underlies a lot of what she was going to show. And her initial 7-8 slides essentially were showing the various continental plates sliding around across the various geological periods. (Which was sort of key to the talk since the local rocks are metamorphic and massively folded in places.)
