Answers in Genesis
The Real Reason We’re Building the Life-Size Noah’s Ark - A weekly article meant to encourage people to financially support the Ark Encounter. Although their reasoning is sound (build it to evangelize), it would be more effective if it gave a scientifically plausible flood scenario, as there is no scientific evidence for a worldwide flood.
Northern Gannets - Death Defying Dive Bombers - A 'god of the gaps' article on a bird. We agree, God's design for the gannet is wonderful.
Oceanic Dispersal Rafted Worm Lizards Around the World - AiG takes this scientific study as evidence that animals spread around the world after Noah's Flood by rafting. While it is probable that they rafted across oceans, the animals were still over 30 million years old. Like most YEC claims, there is a sliver of truth in the claim to make it believable, but you still have to ignore the rest of the scientific data.
Creation Ministries International
Concealed Under Carlisle Cathedral's Carpet: Dinosaurs - Claims that dinosaurs lived in England in the Middle Ages. See below for a rebuttal to this claim.
Dinosaurs, Desserts, and Doggy Bags - Proposes that parents hold dinosaur-themed birthday parties for their young children. That way, you can give them proper YEC info on dinosaurs, and indoctrinate their friends.
Institute for Creation Research
Three Dimensional DNA Code Defies Evolution - ICR says this baffles evolutionary scientists. Maybe, but that does not mean that evolution is false. YEC's frequently make claims such as this, pointing out a straw in a haystack, while ignoring the haystack. Given time, scientists will provide an answer.

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

Christian and Believe in an Old Earth?

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