Evidence for Creationism and Against Evolution

Sounds like a sly twist on the fear that many young earth creationists have about science (and particularly evolution) which poke massive holes in the literal interpretation of the bible. Creationists sometimes turn this argument around and say well if [standard scientific/evolutionary argument] can be shown to have errors or weaknesses then the whole thing can come tumbling down and the only alternative is the god model! And although Rian is usually more rational then that and doesnt usually come off as a literalist it is a huge joke to even think that errors in date readings could somehow directly lead to the proof that there is a god. I must have missed the logic jump on that one.
