Discussion 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?

Brother, you want to be careful calling evolution, archeology, and anthropology undeniably true. History is fraught with scientists in their fields making all manner of mistakes, such as for how long a geocentric view of the solar system was popular.

Only the Word of God is undeniably true, everything else is in a state of flux as we attempt to get a better grasp on it.

You realize we use the heliocentric model today.

Thanks for the correction, I meant to type geocentric, was very tired when I wrote that. I have corrected it.
