That's why I used the phrase "a young-earth creationist who is also 
scientifically minded", indicating that he should try to find a someone 
who has thought and read a fair bit about how to best fit science into 
that sort of world view.  Such people do actually exist, and I imagine 
will have a much less varied set of responses than the set of all 
young-earth creationists.
