I'm left wondering if you have actually read what Answers In Genesis has to say on their website . . .

Only bits and pieces. I do not get the impression their writings can be accurately subsumed under the statement, "Science is false." On the face of it, such a statement is absurd to begin with. It's like saying, "Knowledge is false." Some might call it, "Begging the question."

Unlike having faith, young-earth creationism is mutually exclusive with modern science. In order for young-earth creationism to be true, science must be false. Not just biologic evolution, either, but all of science. Geologists who prospect for oil must be wrong about the global flood. They see evidence of erosion under layers of sediment. Astronomers must be wrong about the age of the sun and planets. The light from the supernova 1987A could not have reached the earth in 6000 years. Chemists must be wrong about radiometric dating. So on and so forth.
