Re: Falsification
and how will that disprove things given that dating supports evolution, and that every refinment of dating methods only keeps advancing the accuracy of most of the fossil record?
Simply finding a mastadon in the same area as a t-rex doesn't prove squat when they are dated to be millions of years apart.
Creationists have tried to do this by planting false evidence, such as a rusty hammer in the same area as dinosaur prints.

Re: Falsification
and how exactly will they use accepted dating methods to arrive at very different dates then what science has come to using several different dating methods to come to one conclusive time period?
The hammer was tacky. But it is a example of creationist fraud.

Re: A puzzle
Since when?
A common creationists tactic is to redefine evolution without microevolution, and then declare their own proxy wrong and therefore the real one wrong. That's not challening it as a whole. Furthermore, virtually every creationist claim aganist evolution deals with non-related issues, such as abiogenesis and the origin of matter.

Re: Creationism's blown opportunity
That is one of the few truly embarrassing things about the US. In a nation with the best higher education in the world, we are arguably the sole country in the world who has a sizable portion who still believes in literal creation. It is really sad that the rest of the world can see this and laugh at us. I'm not to happy about that.

Re: American fundamentalism
Archer Opterix, not to sure about that. Kansas's recent crusade aganist evolution and science in general brought mockery from many different nations and cultures. Kansas became the laughing stock of the world for openly supporting literal creation. While that is one state, more then a few would like to follow it.
