You sound as if there are no scientific facts to back up the young creation concept. How about this: www.halos.com.... Try making the planet in the length of time it takes an Alka-Seltzer to dissolve in a glass. Scientific evidence supports that concept. How can you defend against the scientifically proven and re-proven, tested and retested, facts? Presumably, you choose to ignore some scientific facts in light of other scientific facts. I suppose it gets confusing. Actually, there really is no conflict between Christian Bible creation and science.

That's the way it's done. Unless you don't care. Unless you just want to believe anybody, without caring about knowing where they got their information. And if that's the case, why not just believe everybody?

The problem with having physical evidence is the restrictions around such things. In my time in the military, there were many facilities that restricted photography equipment; especially camera phones. Upon entering and exiting these facilities, one was thoroughly searched to ensure information and equipment were not compromised. It would be extremely difficult, to say the least, to obtain such physical evidence to present to the public.
It spreads like a fungus. And the more valuable the information is, the more it's likely to spread.
So something definitive would show up eventually. Unless you want to assume that the U.S. government (and all the other governments in the world, for that matter), which has shown itself time and again to be less than perfect with top secret stuff in the past, in this one case, has a spotless, perfect record.

IMO the best thing to do when dealing with sources that offer only words is to find out about them, find out if they worked where they claimed, then look for related things on the Internet or other informational sources. See if what they say connects to anything else in a more than coincidental or hoax manner.
