Hmm... 'reliable'. It depends on what you mean by reliable. It's certainly reliable for presenting false or misleading information for those wishing to reinforce their creationist beliefs.
e.g. The Bible’s account of the true history of the world makes it clear that no fossil can be more than a few thousand years old.
So if the Bible says so, lets make up the facts.
Of course, all this is backed up by 'reliable' references to other creationist literature, or misquotes from elsewhere.
[edit] Just found this at the 'back' of the site:
As Answers in Genesis is a faith-funded ministry, our staff may not have the option of devoting much time to answering scientific questions that fall outside of our area of specialty.
Well, there you go. Their speciality isn't science, yet they claim to provide 'answers' to all your questions about the origin of Earth and mankind. Does that explain how reliable they are?
