No problem. Don't feel obligated to give a detailed reply- my interest is more in providing information than engaging in debate for its own sake. I spent a long time as a theistic evolutionist, and a very passionate one at that. As I mentioned above, I was incredibly surprised to find out that young earth creationism wasn't as dumb as I thought. Leonard Brand has done some good work on varves. Kurt Wise has some relevant insights on radiometric dating in his work, though he freely admits that there is much more work to be done.
The critical points for me are A) the common core of human mythology across the planet reflecting the history of Genesis 1-11 and B) the philosophy of science. This is one of the reasons that "Faith, Reason, and Earth History" is the best creationist work out there- it treats the philosophy of science as part of its approach. Good essay here:
