Enthusiastically seconded. dwise1 has a strong record of quality posts on this kind of topic. I would encourage creationist readers (or those who are perhaps on the fence) to pay close attention to what he has to say. I particularly agree with this statement;

They're not trying to prove creation, but rather they just want to prove science to be wrong. About anything. That's why they'll even make claims that have absolutely nothing to do with evolution or the age of the earth (eg, to role of refrigerants in depleting the ozone layer); from a strict creation/evolution perspective, that just doesn't make any sense at all, but from the perspective of proving science to be wrong it does make sense. And they don't even have to actually prove science wrong, just so long as they can cast enough doubt.
In my opinion, this undermining of science, not just evolutionary biology, but all science, is what makes creationism so objectionable and dangerous.
