You, and that Answers in Geneis website, are a joke.
Scientific American is a semi-popular journal which publishes attractively illustrated and fairly detailed, but not overly technical, articles, mostly on science. It is not a peer-reviewed journal like Nature or TJ, but many of its articles are very useful. Scientific American was founded by the artist and inventor Rufus Porter (1792?1884), who thought that science glorified the creator God. In the very first issue, his editorial stated:

?We shall advocate the pure Christian religion, without favouring any particular sect ??

Now the current editor since late 1994, one John Rennie (b. 1959), has also fervently promoted the anti-God evolution agenda. Like many anti-creationist propagandists, he often launches into attacks with a poor understanding, and he has only a bachelor?s degree in science, so is far less qualified than the leading creationist scientists at AiG and ICR.

Taken from the previously posted link by yours truly. If you would have taken your biased ass to the link and read, you would have learned something.

I may be a joke but your a bad joke.
