The main problem with the creationists, is that they comfound theory and 
dogma.
I propose a theory, you chalenge it, comfront it with your experiments 
and observations. If it pass, we have explained something and have a 
beter understanding of the world. If it don't pass, we continue 
observing and experimenting until we find a beter theory.

I proclaim a dogma. If you chalenge it, you're WRONG! If you find facts 
that don't support it, your facts are WRONG, or you invented them!
If the facts realy contradict the dogma, reject them or twist them until 
they fit.


Another problem is that they stubornly refuse to acknolege the time 
frame and the gigantic life pool implied in evolution.

They want to go from primitive proto-live cells to human in under 10000 
years, some say 5000 years from Earth formation to now... In fact, we 
are talking about some 2 to 4 billions years. We are talking of 
population pool also in 100's of billions for unicellular organisms. 
With generation times that can be as short as 20 minutes...

With those numbers, probabilities in the order of 0.000001% tend to look 
as 100%.
