Its just a little strange that you would say the Bible is not the word of God, when every modern day major religious denomination would say otherwise. In the Lutheran faith, they say, “The Word of the Lord” after reciting bible passages. Likewise in the Presbyterian church. Baptist ministries shout on television that the Bible is the actual voice of God. If you are saying that these “small-o” churches are dragging your religion through the mud, then I’d say you have a lot to complain about, since over 50% of Christians in the US belong to a Protestant branch.

Again, we are sidetracked from the point of this discussion, which is about Young Earth Creationists and their attacks on science, not about Christianity or religion in general. However, I think that the YEC’s all start out learning from the mainstream religious groups, then get led astray somewhere along the line. I can see how that could easily happen whenever you teach children that your religion is correct, and everyone else’s is wrong.
