I'm a YEC. Challenge me.

I'm pretty sure everyone is bored with creationism at this point..

He had me at "hello", *barf*

[Anomalocaris]

I am a Young Earth Creationist on a quest: I am sincerely interested in reading EVERY argument against YEC.

Brief background: After studying creationism, I was encouraged to see how strong this model has become over the recent decade.
It caused me to want to search out and read arguments AGAINST creation. And the more I read them, the more convinced I became: the creation model is actually very logically solid.

But just to make sure I’ve done a thorough search, I decided to come here and ask members of an atheist forum. I’ve certainly done plenty of searching myself, googling, bing-ing, etc. I’m pretty sure I’ve read all of them, but perhaps you know of some more.
Here’s links to the ‘best’ ones I’ve found (I not included the lesser quality ones):

http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4065

http://www.skepticreport.com/sr/?p=499
http://www.scientificamerican.com/articl...reationist (As a YEC, I particularly enjoyed this one)

So, if you have any other good ones, please post them here and I will read them.

**REQUEST: PLEASE keep this thread on topic: posting challenges to YEC.
I am not interested in starting a debate, nor defending myself. I REALLY do want good information in response, from credible sources when possible (not just random thoughts).

(Fellow creationists: please don’t jump in and ramble, just listen. In fact, if you do that same research I’ve done, you might too come out very encouraged by what you believe)

If you are demented enough to be a YEC without having first digested the weighty arguments against YEC by people you ought to trust far more than yourself or your jesus, then you are beyond help.

Fuck off and burn in hell.

Well then, anybody fancy a good leprechaun debate? Perhaps:

1. Why are they always after me Lucky Charms?
2. Possible methods for capturing one of the little beasties
3. Identifying leprechaun scat from other critters and such. Emphasis on "and such".
4. Financial planning for that Pot O' Gold. Stocks? Bonds? Real Estate?
5. Who would win a fight? A Leprechaun, A Faerie or Jesus?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

No. YEC was demolished long ago. I have nothing further to add. Good day.

On a quest.... I didn't click any of those links, sorry... too little time.
But... how do you account for the little detail of radiometric dating?
So many isotopes all yielding roughly the same age can't be that wrong... can they?

Oh man, that was fantastic, thanks for the laugh.

[Doubting Thomas]

Oh and your hero Hovind is a lying tax cheat prison bitch who gives it up to the whole cell block every night.

Except...they don't always yield the same age. Here's a chart showing dates of moon rocks using different techniques:

I am sincerely interested in reading EVERY argument against YEC.

So you are a liar in your first post.

Fuck off, troll.
