"Plants do replicate within their kind, but so do certain crystals and some chemicals. They replicate within kind, but they are nowhere said to possess chay (life) or nephesh (soul), the Hebrew words for living things. Job 14:8-10 is cited as evidence that plants die like people die, but that passage most certainly does not use the words for life."
Wow.
Just. Wow. Note that this little gem was taken from the "evidence" section of the site. While quoting the Bible for evidence is nothing new to creationists, this is the first I've heard of plants being "not alive."
More choice quotes.
"Our solar system appears to be near the center of the universe. Galaxies look the same, and are moving away from us in the same way, in all directions. The cosmic microwave background radiation comes to us very uniformly from all directions. These and other data strongly indicate we are located at a very special location by design."
Wait, didn't we discard a similar model of the universe when we decided Copernicus was right? We can't even see the whole of Universe due to limitations of our light-based perception. For all we know it might be infinite(Which we don't, yet). In which case there is no "center" of the universe. How can something that has no boundaries have a center?
Aaaaand my favourite so far...
"The universe is only several thousand years old.
Comets are an example of a natural clock within our solar system. With each orbit around the sun, comets lose considerable mass. They cannot be very old because they cannot survive many orbits.
To get around this problem, many astronomers assume there is a vast cloud of comets out near the edge of the solar system, which releases new comets every so often. This imaginary cloud is called the "Oort Cloud," named after the astronomer who proposed it. The problem is that there is no observational evidence such a cloud exists at all.
Each year our knowledge of astronomy increases with new evidence concerning the origin of our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe. While it is possible to make assumptions beyond what can be observed and verified, the heavens continue to bear witness to recent creation."
I can't believe they mentioned observational evidence, or any kind of evidence for that matter.
Oh silly Creationists. And you wonder why they didn't let you hand out Science Degrees.

Creationists are a great source of laughter for me. I hang around some creationists' discussion boards just for the lulz.
