This is an interesting video where Ken Miller cross examines creationist claims. Just thought I would post it. It's a bit long.

Young earth "Creation Science" arguments are easy to find fault in. Even when they are based on sound science and all the data, they generally only prove a minimum age of the earth. I have yet to see any scientific evidence that proves a young earth as if proving the age of the earth proves that God created it. I have an issue with ID as well. Because the Designer isn't specified, people can fill that blank in with whatever power they want. They can use the same arguments for ETs and UFOs being involved. So "Creation Science" tries to prove God by disproving evolution and proving a timeline, and ID tries to prove a creation but leaves the Creator out of the picture. Even if both could be proved beyond a doubt, all we would prove is that evolution didn't occur by chance over millions of years. In other words, proving that something happened recently and not by chance doesn't prove God created.
