Hello Daniel,
I will take some time to reply to your post. I appreciate you taking the time to put this together.
One of my initial reactions is to state that I began my first review of the RATE findings while a young-earth creationist. At the time I encountered it was I extremely excited, but this excitement diminished quickly as I read the details. I found enough inconsistency and ad hoc assumption to damn the findings from the outset. With more research from opposing viewpoints (both Christian and non-Christian), I found the problems to only become greater in quantity and quality.
So, I developed a negative response to RATE findings even prior to rejecting a young-earth platform. I do not see my rejection as the result of bias; rather, my bias arose as a result of objective rejection.
I honestly feel that you need to expand your theology to include the possibilities of evolution. As an open theist, I feel that this is actually a lot easier than you may realize. I see that you have accepted young-earth views of theodicy to the tee. Even if you maintain a young-earth position throughout your intellectual and spiritual development, it would do you well to understand theodicy in light of current conditions and not in spite of them. Frankly, I consider the Fall = natural evil approach to be a retreat from reality. It is a position that lessons the beauty of free choice and chance in God's created order. It is also a position that lends itself to gnostic devaluing of the natural order.
