Are you lumping YEC in with ID/creationism and calling it the same dog?

There are occasions that I have stumbled across it. Other times I heard about it from friend. I do go looking for it sometimes. And finally...if you've been here on Calgarypuck long enough, you realize that religion is a pretty popular topic of discussion and this stuff crops up every few months.
I am not lumping ID with YEC but again, YEC is not irrelevant in any way. It might "have a fat chance of being real" according to you...but many religious people truely believe in many tenents of YEC even if they have not been exposed to the formal YEC movement or have heard about it articulated in that manner. Furthermore, you cannot explore what ID is without learning different facets and arguments behind it. YEC is indeed one of the main arguments behind ID, so much so that there are museums built (in the U.S. and Canada) that support YEC theories and information.
