Unlike having faith, young-earth creationism is mutually exclusive with modern science.

Nawp. Modern science steps beyond its limits in asserting an old earth. Modern science has yet to ascertain what exactly are time, space, light, and energy. I hardly think it is in a position to dictate to the rest of the world what is history.

Meanwhile, I doubt you will find Answers in Genesis asserting Newtonian Physics to be entirely false as a means of understanding the creation. For that matter, what have they written against either the Theory of General Relativity or the Theory of Special Relativity? In what way have they denounced the discovery of DNA?

Evolution is not the answer it sets itself up to be. Slowly but surely the charade is being exposed with numbers and functions too complex to be produced apart from any intelligent agent.

Sorry, but I disagree. There's not much more I can say. I'll give one more try.

But we're not talking about the theory of evolution any more.

Here's an article by Ken Ham on the topic of astronomy, which suggests the speed of light may have changed in order to accomodate a 6000 year old universe. This supposition is not supported by observations. I brought up supernova 1987A as a specific example earlier. Science leads us to conclude the light from 1987A took about 170,000 years to reach us. Either young-earth creationism is incorrect, or the entire field of science and everyone working in it is guilty of perpetrating massive fraud.
