14 Scientific Reasons to Believe in a Young Earth (Answers in Genesis) http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs/4005.asp

1) Galaxies wind themselves up too fast.
2) Too few supernova remnants
3) Comets disentegrate too quickly
4) Not enough mud on the sea floor
5) Not enough sodium in the seas
6) The earth's magnetic field is decaying too fast
7) Many strata are too tightly bent
8) Biological material decays too fast
9) Fossil radioactivity shortens geologic "ages" to a few years
10) Too much helium in minerals
11) Too much carbon-14 in deep geologic strata
12) Not enough Stone Age skeletons
13) Agriculture is too recent
14) Recorded history is too short

Another example I thought of is that red blood cells have been found in dinosaur fossils supposedly millions of years old. http://www.icr.org/article/2032/
