We have data from so many different disciplines like the ice core data or the magnetic reading of the spreading of the ocean floor between the US and Europe and South America and Africa, the magnetic lines read like a tape recording of the spreading.
Or Carbon dating, the scientists involved know exactly where that technique can be used and where it gives bad dates but YEC's ignore that completely and just poo poo the entire science.
It really blows my mind just how selective they are in their misuse of such data, how just those sciences that show an old Earth are now bogus yet other sciences with exactly the same scientific method used is for some reason fine and dandy with the YEC's.
Any science that doesn't intersect with dating the Earth is wonderful, like cancer research or mathematics (but not that math that supports an old Earth like the half life data and the math behind that, but the study of geometry is ok)
All that is so blind I don't see how they can talk with a straight face.
