I will point to the Bible as the main evidence. Remember, I look at things from a Biblical perspective and interprets facts from a Biblical perspective, and have readily admitted this over and over again. The problem is you do not want to step out of your own paradigm for even one minute to look at things from a different point of view. Our presuppositions are entirely different and you seem to be asking me for evidence for a young earth from within your presuppositions (i.e., you seem to want me to give you evidence that forces you to see a young earth given your presuppositions). I don't think this can be done as I don't think your presuppositions will allow you to think in that manner. Anything I could show you, you would reinterpret from within your own presuppositions and you will arrive at a different conclusion. I would suggest you look into your own worldview, figure out what your presuppositions (first principles) are from which you build your worldview, and then get back to me and we can discuss our presuppositions and where they lead.
And where is your evidence that the Bible contains any scientific fact? After all, if I was to ask a question about astronomy it would be foolish of me to go to a desert in the middle east, find some wandering tribesmen who have never had an education and ask them. This is basically what you are doing.
This really is a prime example of garbage in, garbage out because with such an intellectually unsafe starting point, no conclusions that follow can possibly make any sense.
