When the heads of both the Anglican and Catholic denominations agree Genesis is allegory not theory it seems fair for me to defer to them

I would run with the same thoughts on the other world religions too. There is simply too much evidence opposing YEC to consider it anything else and those trying to present it as in any way scientific are, at very best, doing themselves a disservice.
