[Is Young Earth Science (YES) a thing?]

If you google "young earth science" (w/ quotes) you get 18K+ hits.  If you bing the same you get 154K items - go figure.

What actually is Young Earth Science (YES)?  YES claims that history and science reveals a planet that's thousands of years old and not billions. 

 

YES is often dismissed, but consider these words from R. F. Diffendal, from his article “Earth in Four Dimensions: Development of the Ideas of Geologic Time and History”:

   To some extent the arguments about a short Earth history of a few thousand years versus a long history of billions of years are still going on today.  Most natural  

   scientists support the long history.  However, some people including Richard Milton [Mensan, agnostic, science journalist] … support the idea of a short one. [1]

Be rational, this planet is younger than you think.  Some of the best evidences for a young earth include:
 

• No fossil trees with thousands of rings
• Contradictory radiometric dates
• Solar effects on decay rates
• History only goes back thousands of years
• The human genome is going downhill
• Lack of trillions of Neanderthal graves [2]

Here is a short summary of the meaning of YES from Wiki.
