This thread started as a response to the question of “Is it unfair to compare YECism with flat-earthism?”
After this thread, one point of comparison has become more clear.
Both worldviews seek to discredit science’s explanation of the natural world though less-than-well-developed arguments, and without an (even close to) equally coherent or consistent explanation to replace it with.
That FE tends to attempt this through conspiracy theories, and claims that science’s evidence is ‘faked’, and YEC through pervasive misrepresentation of scientific evidence, and scientists’ statements, does not appear to negate this comparison.
