I agree. And also, they should talk about how science has repeatedly debunked the ideas of creationism from the bible.

That's a pretty bold statement. Care to provide examples? And please provide references, if possible.

There is no evidence of a global flood, for one.

The articles citing the actual age of the earth are far too numerous to list here, as are the articles that prove that there isn't enough water on the globe for a Great Flood. I know the 'Flood' isn't Creation but it too has been debunked. There WAS a large-scale regional flood, most likely due to the Mediterranean overflowing the Bosporous and subsequently (and quickly) creating the Black Sea, coincidentally occurring in the region where Noah and his people were thought to have lived.

You know, God, er, an "Intelligent Designer" could use Earth's own plate tectonics to do wonders. Wonders that would be completely out of the realm of understanding to people who could barely read or write, much less comprehend such ideas as plate tectonics. Why this idea is so threatening to allegedly educated Christians today is bewildering. Just because Creation may have occurred slowly over billions of years, or that a Flood was a regional event doesn't preclude the fact that Jesus died and rose again, which is the basis of Christianity, not some fun myths in the Old Testament.
