My take on the creationist nonsense is this: Completely independent of any theological argument, just as a practical matter, where should you look for advice about the world we live in? The self described omniscient God, or to modern Science. Consider that God forgot to mention a few pretty important things.
- Geography: The existence of 4 entire continents, with people on 3 of them.
- Cosmology: The existence of a billion billion additional stars in the universe, in addition to the few thousand you can see.
- Medicine: the existence of living things too small to see, but which can kill you.
- Natural History: Dinosaurs, and almost everything else.
- Engineering: Anything beyond muscle power.
You get the idea.

He also forgot to mention that he plays with dice (quantum probability) and hedges on every bet (MWI multiverse).
He forgets a lot.
