... and even maths have to be wrong for them to be right.
I'm not at all sure what mathematics you are referring to. Off hand, I cannot think of anything biblical that contradicts mathematics.
For the rest - yes, creationism contradicts far more of science that the YEC creationists will admit. But then, they deeply into self-delusion.

He is probably talking about 1 Kings
Yes, I guessed that might be it.
I don't see that as a problem with mathematics. It is about measurement.
I never did see that as a problem in the Bible. Unless that molten sea is exactly circular, it could even be true. The measurement across might be at a place where it is longer than the average. And even if the molten sea is exactly circular, this is still a reasonably approximation for inexact measurement.

It would be interesting to think of technologies that couldn't work if the earth was only 6,000 old.
There would be a problem with much of what NASA does. Those rockets would bump into the solid dome over the earth. And if they managed to penetrate that, they would run into the waters above the firmament.
