Dr. Hovind: Each of these evidences of a young Earth is described in great detail in the books referred to at the end of each line.

The book's authors read like a Who's Who in the creationist world! I guess it takes a creationist to explain these things, because I sure don't know any reputable scientists who would accept these young-Earth arguments! By now you should have some inkling as to why respectable scientists reject such claims.

Dr. Hovind: Those who believe the earth is billions of years old will typically try to discredit one of the above arguments and then mistakenly think that they have successfully proven the entire list wrong.

I certainly don't know of anyone who would do that!

For an alternative "creation" view-point, see this post, when modern Science and Genesis, can be reconciled and harmonized... the truth speaks for itself.

They said it couldn't be done, but here it is, thanks to modern science and praise to God.     "The various attempts to join together the biblical account of creation and evolution are not supportable by the various gap theories because the order of creation is in direct opposition to the views of modern science (e.g., the creation of trees before light.)" Source: King James Hebrew-Greek KeyWord Study Bible, AMG Publishers, 1991 Yes, finally, trees exactly as described in Genesis, before, and without sunlight. And no, it's not another lame hoax. (Short) and (Long). See, Prototaxites, Fossilized "Fruiting Fungi," 'Tree'.

Besides science discovering this fossilized, non-photosynthetic, fruiting "tree," Genesis does not mention flowers (Angiosperms), which supports Old Earth Evolution. How odd for "mere mythology".
