The problem with creation and the biblical timeline is that it doesn't correspond to anything we can observe.

The problem with the evos is that they try to insist that every creationist believes that the earth is a certain age old and that the Flood must have happened in a certain year when there's not one verse of Scripture that makes any statement about the age of the earth.

Don’t read more into Scripture than what is presented, but likewise don’t make so many unfounded assumptions and assert them to be truthful, when at best they merely represent a static meaning from science at one point in time.
For example, dating the earth and cosmos. There is nothing wrong in establishing a dating system based relative to a certain method, such as Carbon 14 radioactive decay. There is something incongruous with extrapolating that meaning to an absolute timeline, ignoring the assumptions, then basing future arguments upon the altered meaning of the dating system.
