    This week's "helpful YEC missive" from AIG says:

    "Q: Doesn't it take millions of years for coral reefs to form?

    A: If Noah's Flood occurred only about 4,500 years ago, as the Bible
    indicates, then the coral reefs, such as the famous Great Barrier Reef in
    Australia, must be less than 4,500 years old.

    At one of the the Barrier Reef's underwater observatories great clumps of
    coral are already growing on the large anchor chains! This has certainly
    not taken millions of years.

    Also, there's some fascinating research on coral growth conducted by
    Australian scientists. They found that the average growth of certain
    corals was over a half an inch per year. Now, the deepest part of the
    Great Barrier Reef is around 180 feet. At this growth rate, the entire
    reef could be explained in less than four thousand years--which fits the
    Biblical date of the Flood!"

    Anyone know the obvious answer to this one?
