This is one of the worst attempts I've seen yet by the young earth bunch. Carbon 14 dating is unreliable past about 20,000 years or so. And I love this little chestnut:
Although creationists have long pointed out the rock formations themselves testify unmistakably to water catastrophism on a global scale,
OK, if that were the case, what uplifted and tilted those formations, eroded them away, and then deposited MORE formations on top of the eroded surfaces? I don't recall reading of TWO floods.

What it says is that there IS measurable C14 throughout the fossil layers, showing that the material is less than 20,000 years.
Reading an article before posting about it is always helpfull.

Just a thought.
Put billions of tons of water on top of the meringue pie of the earth's crust and imagine the bulging and sinking that this would cause to the land.
Watch an ocean in less than one years time erode 50 yards of beach front, then replace it before next summer.
Erosion and sedimentary processes are mainly results of water. The global flood had lots of water! There is no other explaination for the sedimentary layers we observe in the geologic record.
Don't say this at your local University, you might get a failing grade because you learned (believed) nothing the teacher has taught.
