Oh man... eric, I just had the time to read that "fossilized wood" story, and it's amazing! Like reading about all those old scams with 'evidence' for ancient astronauts and UFO's and Lemuria and whatever!
An "independent researcher" finds a piece of wood inside a rock, and immediately calls Answers in Genesis? HAH!
AiG sends a part of the sample saying it's supposed to be fossilized, and that part is soft and fluffy? And Walker (boy, that guy sure is something...) essentially says "well, it was a really small sample, so you can't say what it is at all... But trust us"? HAH!
The Geochron guy offers to provide a part of the sample for testing and, instead of gladly agreeing, since then the Truth of the Lord would shine upon all...
...Walker starts to foam in the mouth saying this is ...unethical? and it betrays client trust? WTF? And then he says they would give a part of the sample, IF a common testing procedure is agreed upon, and a comittee approved by ALL would evaluate the results and blahblahblah... Boy, they're reeealy sure they're on the side of Truth! HAH!
Heh, I can imagine all the warnings and threats of legal action Geochron received from AiG after that... Privately, of course. 
And you know, if I didn't know better, after looking at the photo of the sample, where it appears like someone shoved a splinter into a crack, I'd be almost certain this was a parody...
But I guess everything about YEC is, in a way.

A look into DAVE HAWKINS' sense of honesty:
"The truth is that ALL mutations REDUCE information"
"...mutations can add information to a genome. And remember, I have never said that this is not possible."
