Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
The great thing about YEC is that you can just make it up as you go along and never worry about contradictary explainations for the same phenomona because the faithfull will never bother to check either your facts or your logic.
The Frumious Bandersnatch
No, the really great thing about YEC is that if any of the "faithful" do bother to check your facts, you can just wave your hand and say "Goddidit."
And if they continue to point out gaping holes in the logic, then you can change the subject by questioning their faith and warning them of the dangers of hell.

Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other.
See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

Obviously grass was afraid of dinosaurs and ran away whenever it saw them coming. All flowering plants were fast runners in preflood days. They just lost their running ability through loss of information after the flood. We know this because we know that grass and oak trees outran velociraptors in escaping the flood and got higher up the mountains that didn't exist before the flood before being buried by the flood that was depositing cambrian organisms on the tops of the mountains that didn't exist before the flood while burying cambrian organism deep in the fossil record because they were bottom dwellers.
While being gentle enough not to disturb dinosaur nests as it carved the grand canyon.

And - this really has to be said - it took great care not to bury land-dwellers next to fish (as might be carelessly expected), so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.
The "coincidences" described in this post represent a tiny fraction of the problem that the fossil record presents for the worldwide flood myth. As yet we have no answers from YECs. YECs constantly repeat the mantra that the data fit nicely with the young earth and global flood when properly "interpreted". What we see constantly when challenges are presented on many aspects of the world as it exists today is that young earth, global flood based interpretations either do not exist or are both totally inadequate and logically inconsistent. There is simply no way that the fossil record is consistent with the flood myth.
Well YEC believers, where are your explanations of these "coincidences"?
Only a small fraction of the problem that the fossil record presents for the worldwide flood has been discussed here and yet the YECs on the board seem to be totally stumped. You would think that since the flood is such a central tenant of YEC that someone would try to make some sort of stab at a defense. Perhaps it is because there is no defense. The fossil record is clearly one of many falsifications of the myth that flood of Noah was worldwide and YEC "flood geology" is totally unable to deal with it.
