Well, one popular account states that they balanced all the books and scrolls they had and the one's that didn't fall off were included. Most likely apocryphal though.

Frankly, if you're going to believe the entire Earth was flooded up to the peaks of the highest mountains, with water that came out of nowhere and disappeared miraculously, it's not that big a stretch to imagine tiny galaxies. I past the point of marveling at what a YEC will actually believe, save for Dr. Dino, who thinks there are still dinosaurs running around in the Congo jungle.

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963
