The question is whether it's necessary to that theology that we dogmatically assert that it was a literal week starting October 28, 4004 BC.
The date it started is irrelevant to the fact that it happened as the Bible reveals it.
I will believe the Bible regardless of whether or no YEC is true and the correct interpretation of the Scriptures.
"Young earth creation" as it is taught by "creation-scientists" is a scientific position mixed with unscientific axioms to create a new religious mythology. I am as much opposed to the confusing of faith and science as I am to their complete separation. There is no reason why a commitment to biblical revelation and six day creation should in any way be prejudicial to the normal process by which scientists arrive at their conclusions.
How can it not prejudice the normal process of scientists? For example, you hold to geocentrism due to Biblical Revelation. How would that position not bias the normal process that scientists use?
