I've just been checking out your site.
If you don't mind, could you go into a bit more detail into a lot of your proposed evidence for the True Age of the Earth. Just saying "Someone sat down and did the math" does very little to convince. What maths, can I see it and work through it myself to see if this claim is true? I'm pretty sure I know what your talking about in that one. Have you thought about checking the rebuttal to a lot of those arguments, I think that one there was rebutted like two decades ago.
The next bit about "The Missing Day" is a huge claim. Do you think there would be so many astrologers believing the earth is billions of years old if all the evidence pointed to only 10 000 years. I doubt it.
Next on the line up is "Ancestors or Not?" I ask, what? "why are apes still around if they evolved?". I know I didn't come from my sister, but rather we both come from my parents. The same scenario here. I'll just finish with, they base that hypothesis (dare I say theory) on a lot more than a common "tailbone". It stretches a lot further, believe me, a lot. Going by these claims, I beg to ask the question, have you looked at the evidence to see what there basing this on? It's not just some common bones.
As for carbon dating, do a little research first. Not just copy and paste from other creation arguments. Try starting here. Don't worry, it's written by a Christian so there is no reason to ignore it.
This page here. All I say is wow, your pretty damn confident on your stuff. Like your opening line, "ABSOLUTELY. And NEVER more than now! Biochemistry just discovered that Evolution is impossible even at the molecular level - so how could it exist at the species level?". Do you know Biochemistry? Lets just start off simple, work your way through this site.
Please, I know I should of probably not done this, but it is my belief that a lot of these false arguments can lead to loosing faith in the Bible and ultimately atheism. When people much like myself decide to do a little investigating for themselves, they find these arguments to be, well, wrong. It is through your misinterpretation of the Bible that causes Christianity to turn into a laughing stock.
Here's an example, you claim the Bible says the earth is 10 000 years, someone takes interest in this claim and does a little research of there own. Hang on, the earth isn't 10 000 years, oh, I guess the Bible is just a fairy tale than. They then go off thinking Christians are nothing but idiots.
Please, could you show me where it claims in the Bible the earth is 10 000 years old. Since your making this claim I'm sure you must be able to back it up. I've been reading the Bible like crazy recently and I can't seem to work out how people get this idea, a lot like a lot of other false (in my opinion) claims.
Some advice from one Christian to another, do something about your site.

Wow, I commend you for taking action. I really still think you should have a site though. There is a lot that you could probably expand upon. Such as prophecies and philosophy as such. Perhaps you could get me on AIM (Retro Crono) or email me at retro_crono@yahoo.com.au
and if you still want to do a site I'll give you some links. Some of the other stuff I thought was pretty good. But, unlike many claim, science isn't really everything so I don't think it is needed in showing people the truth. I think it is the other areas that is so shockingly real. Anyway, I'll leave it in your hands to see what you want to do.

Whoops. Yeah, I did. I fixed it up though.
