Not b/c it conflicts with science but just b/c I started to try to understand what the authors of Genesis really meant to say back then thousands of years ago. And I can't imagine that they wanted to convince us of 7-day creationism (or any variant). Taking the Genesis account literal violates the intentions of the authors of the Bible.

This is an important point.

I tell my YEC friends/family who ask me about it that evolution is what the science observes. I don't want to attack their Faith, though, so I point out Omphalos hypothesis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omphalos_hypothesis ).
