Maybe AIG should get some awards:

Pseudoscience site of the day

Science award for the year 1510

The the dark ages were the best of days awards.

The ostrich award.

etc.

How about out of context quote of the month?

Or maybe the Fred Flintstone award for articles about people and dinosaurs living together?

My nomination for goofiest creation page of the year goes to Noah The Man Who Trusted God

I get an impression of Noah using a dinosaur crane to load the ark just like the one Fred used to load rocks.

"Last month, a whole village had been destroyed by a gang of thugs."

Of course, if was Moses & co. a few hundred years later....

Mad old Noah’ had employed stock feed researchers to work on food requirements and food production techniques. The farmers, too, were busy, producing stockpiles of grain and other produce. Systems of drying and preserving food were researched and refined.
Such systems would, of course, be forgotten for hundreds of years. Maybe Noah invented batteries and a refrigerator as well. ROTFL!

Quote:
And they kept on pouring in, day after day. It was rather unnerving. There were no herds of animals. Occasionally there were seven of each type, but in most cases just two — a male and a female. And they were all young — no older than a year or two, so even the brachiosaurs were not much bigger than horses.
Two years and with a mate? pedophiles!

Quote:
The Bible indicates that it was only to be land animals which breathed through nostrils (Gen 7:22). Thus this probably included only vertebrates, i.e. not insects and the like, who could survive outside the Ark on rafts of matted vegetation, driftwood, pumice and the like. Return to text.
Not according to the bible.

Man, those morons at AIG are beyond belief!

I got a laugh out of that page.

Don't forget that he employed some genetic engineers to create the infamous Gopher Wood with the strength of inconel and the density of aerogel.

Y'know, I was thinking about this idly

and

wouldn't how hard the rain would have to fall to flood the earth have killed off any insect living unprotected in it?

The diversity of insect life is a falsification of the flood myth and the floating mats dodge just doesn't help. I recently made a post on this subject on another forum.

I suspect it is possible to find errors in logic and/or fact on virtually every page of the AiG website and most of them have several of each. The "Noah" site has more obvious sillyness than most but as goofy as it is it is far from unique in the world of YEC.

BTW you will notice that the Noah article was first published in Creation Ex Nihilo. Isn't that one of the creationists so-called "peer reviewed" journals? I'd hate to think what their unreviewed "literature" is like!

Probably the same. The reviewed stuff is reviewed by those who agree with everything the author wrote anyway. Not a chance in hell that a YEC is wrong. They have the HOLY BIBLE which is GOD'S WORD!

This would explain why ICR uses Hebrew scholars to review their work.

What an utter sham.

Only Hebrew scholars that agree with YEC dogma of course. Anyone else is heretic scum and is rejected without a second thought.
