Science has largely become synonymous with materialism, claiming what will not yield to its examinations must shunted to the side of “belief”, a fluffy sweet dessert apart from the meat and marrow of “reality”. Enjoy your dessert, just don't try to live on it, so to speak.
If YEC (and others) want their views of the universe's formation to be accepted as scientific then either they will use the means and methods of the materialists or they will have to stop letting the materialists define “science” in such a way that it only applies to themselves, their methods, and yes, their beliefs, their faith in science.
Thanks for the ping!
