  • Again, empirical, repeatable, tests, arranged by creationary scientists, but usually rejected solely because they support a YEC age, usually with various ad hoc explanations that are only invoked in these cases (i.e. special pleading), and ones that often don't stand scrutiny (for example, you can't get contaminant C14 into the crystal structure of a diamond).

  • Young earth creationism holds that the scientific evidence is unreasonably as supporting their point of view, but that the same evidence can be reasonably interpreted by creationists to support the creationary point of view.

  • Creationists says that the dating methods are not reliable, so expecting the methods to show ages consistent with the creationary view is not reasonable as it requires one to assume that the methods are reliable.
