I reall had multiple points in mind by suggesting geology. One obvious point is that creationists have just as many problems with hard science as they do with biology. In fact there isn't any branch of science that can be understood by a young earth creationist.
But that would be embarrassing to admit in front of the school board, so let's pick on a branch of science that hasn't done anything for us.
Except for possibly medicine, agriculture, and one or two other things.

It's true that Creationists reject geology as well as biology; likewise they reject astronomy and physics and chemistry. While not really rejection, Creationist incorrect usage of mathematics is rather evident.
The actual target isn't really just evolution. The target is scientific inquiry itself. The Creationist-PostModernDeconstructionist-NewAgeist-Etc. axis are essentially the same in this respect. They all wish to replace scientific inquire by their own feelings.
The Creationists are identical to the Left in that they continually strive for the politicization of science. Politicization of society (arts, science, economy, medicine, etc.) has been a goal of the Left and the Creationists for decades.
