I think there's a problem here.  Why are the creationists always
on the offensive attempting to disprove evolutionary theory?
The scientists shouldn't always be on the defensive!

We really ought to give them a chance to present the SPECIFIC tenets
of creationist theory in such a manner that they can't back down from
their assertions when they are found to contradict physical evidence
or even each other.

I suspect there's a very good reason why this isn't happening.
I'm game; anybody want to assert the earth was created in ~4,000 BC?
