Why Is Mount St. Helens Important to the Origins Controversy? - YEC's love Mount St. Helens because they think its evidence of rapid erosion and formation of stratified layers, and thus its proof of both the Flood and the rapid formation of the Grand Canyon. But rapid erosion and formation are a part of old earth theory as well, since there is examples of it in the rock record.
Overturning Expectations about Ancient Man - AiG discusses the monuments at Göbekli Tepe, and argues how they can be interpreted in a YEC framework. This site predates the YEC timeline for Noah's Flood by 6,000+ years, yet AiG does not present any evidence for its dating. They merely say it was a community of people after the Tower of Babel, with no supporting evidence to re-date it by 7,000 years. Here is the Wikipedia article on Göbekli Tepe.

The Watery Formation of Fish River Canyon in arid Namibia - The second largest canyon on our world, this YEC claim states it was formed by Noah's Flood. Here is the real story from Wikipedia:
The Fish River canyon consists of an upper canyon, where river erosion was inhibited by hard gneiss bedrocks, and a lower canyon formed after erosion had finally worn through the gneisses.
Upstream, the river runs through horizontal dolomite strata; these metamorphic rocks formed part of the canyon. About 650 million years ago (Mya), plate movement formed a north-south graben, or lowered area, along which the ancient Fish River could flow and eventually erode a flat plain, which is today's upper canyon. Glaciation at around 300 Mya, part of the Dyka glaciation during the Karoo Ice Age, further deepened the canyon. About 60 Mya, South America and Africa separated (due to continental drift) and Africa rose significantly; the consequentially increased gradient of the Fish River enabled it to erode the lower canyon into the hard gneisses, forming the current deeply twisting, meandering system of the lower canyon.

Did you know that you can be a Christian,
and believe that the earth is billions of years old? You can even
believe in evolution and be a Christian. There is no conflict
between science and the Bible...all one needs is a proper
understanding how to merge science and the Bible. To learn more
about old earth creationism, see

provide rebuttals to the bad science behind young earth creationism,
and honor God by properly presenting His creation.
