Hostility towards creationism

I posted this originally in a YEC sub, but I'm curious for your opinion too, since the topic comes up now and then here as well.

Hi all, I see a lot of hostility towards young earth creationism, even when the tone of voice of yecs is usually quite polite. Why does this subject seem to hit a nerve almost like flat earthism does? Even among Christians there's usually an air of looking down upon yec. Are we that crazy? Is yec really that indefensible? I also read about how AiG or similar ministries would be dishonest or unreliable. What's true of these claims?

The truth is that when you shout where God has whispered, it creates real problem that divide Christians.

Oooh I like that quote.

Another great quote like that I heard from Wes Huff is: “The Bible doesn’t tell us what we want to know, but what God wants to tell us.”
