No, I'm sorry, it just doesn't work for me.

1. A minority of the world's population believe that the Creator passed down the details of Creation to the adherents of a totally different belief system and that those adherents recorded faithfully the train of events that followed for no less than 4000 years.

Then that Creator sent his son as an emissary, and a sacrificial lamb, to relieve them of the burden of their sins and set them on a new path, discarding those of the original faith who chose not to follow, but believing implicitly in the testament they had produced.

The other major religions treat their Creators' emissaries as holy men and prophets.

Only Christians believe that their prophet was divine. Only Christians believe that their holy book is literally true in all particulars, and only a small percentage of Christians at that.

Why do you suppose this is so?

2. In the last Century the natives of a particularly lightning prone part of Africa used their deductive powers to decide that the lightning strikes were in fact the devil M'Shimba M'Shamba stalking the forest on legs of fire.

What makes YEC beliefs intrinsically better than the beliefs of those natives?
