It's almost impossible to change the beliefs of a die-hard Creationist. It does happen from time to time, but we're dealing with a mindset specifically set up to deny that the sky is blue if it disagrees with religious teaching. "If the evidence disagrees with the Bible, the evidence is wrong."
Which is why I'm a firm believer of tackling the core of the problem and not the outer surface. All the evidence and all the sciences/pseudo-sciences are just the outer surface of the problem. The core of the problem is one of conscience versus evil. If the person can be convinced of the evils of christianity, the person will ultimately change his mind in regard to creationism.
I speak from experience.
Owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have occasionally used the academic jargon generator to produce phrases that even I don't fully understand. The jargons are not meant to offend anyone or to insult anyone's intelligence!
