How do you determine there is value in that?
A view can be evaluated for whether or not it agrees with the Biblical texts. In so far that YEC does not deviate from what the Bible says, it is correct. If you can find another different view that does not disagree with the Biblical text, it might have value as well... whether it ends up being correct or not.
In my life I have held to both YEC views and OEC (Old Earth Creationism) views, as well as to Intelligent Design. But there may be other views on the Biblical text that are no less true or even more true than what you would hear from any of these views.
I know some people say truth is in a constant state of flux. Well, maybe. But I know there are absolute truths in the world. I know there is objective truth. And I know there are different ways of interpreting anything in the world, whether the words we use are intended to be literal or not.
The Bible is literally true. That which we find in the Bible is not false, it really is true. The Bible can be interpreted literally. As a general rule this makes sense. If the plain truth makes sense seek no other sense. As for the Bible as a scientific book, it may or may not be... but it shouldn't be found to deviate from true science. As for it as an historical book, it doesn't disagree with history even though people can come to false conclusions in studying the history it relates. As for a book of literature or its literary value it is timeless. In terms of textual criticism it can be shown to be meet many tests, even exceeding the tests given to other ancient literature/texts.
So, I know the Bible is true. I know God's word is true. I know the Bible can summarily be called the word of God. Now we can talk about the interpretations, knowing that the Bible itself says that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. Prophecy is telling the truth. There is foretelling and forth telling. When people make predictions in our world, those predictions can take many forms. They can be apocalyptic, people trying to tell the future, or people simply taking available evidence to show what is likely to occur, such as with mathematics or chemistry and physics (math and any scientific discipline). But when a preacher preaches the word of God we can always go back to the scriptures to see if what the person has said agrees with what we find in God's word.
Acts 17:11 NASB - Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
