Hello RvX. I am a YEC at this board, and I would like to make some friendly suggestions.
First of all, I don't agree with people who are making harsh or mean-spirited comments. However, I would like to make some constructive criticisms.
The first thing you need to do is read some good material:
www.answersingenesis.orgtrueorigin.org
Go to those sites and learn what Creationists believe and why they believe it. Also, at the answersingenesis site, go to the QandA topic entitled "Arguments Creationists Should NOT Use." It is very, VERY important that you do not use an argument found on this list. Also, go to the media section of the website and listen to some debates. Listening to debates can help you alot because then you can understand the arguments of both sides.
It's also a good idea to read some critic material, such as found at talkorigins.org Perhaps you should rent an anti-creationist book like Abusing Science from the library or something like that. It is important to analyse critical arguments of your position and decide for yourself if they have any merit. I have found that, in some areas, critics are right about Creation Science. Creationists also bring up valuable criticisms about evolutionary theory. You should also read Creationist material. Try Refuting Evolution for a very simple introduction into YEC. Also read Creation: Facts of Life. Start simple and then start to read more in-depth material as your knowledge increases.
"Evolution = Trash."
I think you should refrain from saying such things. Evolution is a formidable theory- it's not complete nonsense as you seem to think. I'm sure someone like Quetzal or Tazimus could make an extremely good defense of evolutionary theory. I also am a YEC like you, but we must give credit where credit it due- evolution has some compelling evidence going for it.
I hope you consider my advice.
