"I do n't know if I can accept `` creationist science `` as a true form of science . True science involves developing explanations for phenomena based on ALL available evidence gathered . Creationists pick and choose little bits of science that supports their claims , all the while ignoring the evidence that discredits them ."
"Walking-fish : A great example of this is the way Young Earthers try to discount radiometric dating . They will choose a couple hundred inconsistent radiometric dates out of the thousands that have been recorded and argue that they are unreliable . Then they will choose a couple lame pieces of evidence for a young earth , such as Robt Gentry 's Polonium halos , rate of decay in the earth 's magnetic field , rates of sediment/salt deposition in the ocean or rate of population growth . This is supposed to outweigh the evidence from thousands of good radiometric dates . Creationists are not very good at doing science but they are good at picking cherries . So if you own an orchard and need a few good field hands , hire a young earth creationist ."
