I've forwaded the original link to my parents, YECs who brainwashed me quite thouroughly in my impressionable years.
I actually came out of the brainwashing much more painfully; I never even heard an actual scientist's rebuttal to YEC claims until after I became an atheist; in fact, it was my budding atheism that drove me to see, "if all these claims I've been taught are true, how the hell do scientists claim otherwise?"
Glenn's article was copyrighted 2000; he could very well be atheist by now. Or, he could have successfully compartmentalized, like so many Catholics. But stories like his are important, even if the ending was a little depressing.
