Young-earth creationists DO accept modern science when it appears to confirm
their presuppositions. That's why some call it "creation science" and they
pretend to publish scientific papers in publications such as the Creation
Research Society Quarterly. They have a love/hate relationship with science
and eagerly cull from it any data which appears to support their position
(but, of course, ignoring all data which refutes it).
