Having established that the slowing of the Earth's rotation is insufficient to prove it, since that the numbers used are a selective misreading of the source:
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/leapsec.html ,

as the following statements are ignored to make the "proof":

"...it is possible to determine the average deceleration of the Earth to be roughly 1.4 milliseconds per day per century."

"The length of the mean solar day has increased by roughly 2 milliseconds since it was exactly 86,400 seconds of atomic time about 1.79 centuries ago (i.e. the 179 year difference between 1999 and 1820)." [This gives roughly 1.12 milliseconds per day per century.]

"The confusion arises because some mistake leap seconds for a measure of the rate at which the Earth is slowing. The 1 second increments are, however, indications of the accumulated difference in time between the two systems."

With this debunked, the question remains, what evidence of a Young Earth can Creationists provide?

Actually, the Bible says nothing of the age of the Earth. Some people have added parts up, but they have unfilled gaps and assumptions.

I know that they have no solid evidence. I'd settle for a piece of weak evidence that isn't weaseled.

Are you serious? You KNOW they have no evidence. Let sleeping dunces lie.

Edit: Dude, that's still asking to much.

Ummm...well, there's the Bible....and the Bible...I think it says so in the Bible...

...basically, the Bible. If you're not prepared to take that as your exclusive textbook for every possible subject, then no, of course there's no evidence for "Young Earth."

With out knowing what 7 days of time was to God when He created everything there is no way to tell.

they have some evidence, they think. they don't realise or won't accept that the rather scant evidence they do have is better explained without making the assumption that (their interpretation of) the bible is literally true. i don't think that this sort of faith is a virtue...

Are you seriously looking for an answer(s) here?
Why don't you visit a YEC website and see what their claims are?

Much like God, that evidence is non-existent...
