In any case, I'm not sure that pointing out supposed logical fallacies is the way to attack creationism. I support the much more direct method of hitting them over the head with bags of fossils (metaphorically speaking) (sort of).

I love that turn of phrase lol, but it wouldn't have worked on me when I was growing up a creationist... I was completely oblivious to any argument against it. You guys would have had a field day with me as a chew toy if I had been around here then, but at the same time I would've been completely indifferent to the criticism. I still remember the look of absolute frustration on the face on one of my atheist friends, well friends of friends, at the time. Pretty much exactly the same look as one of the Monty Python's, Michael Palin I think, had on his face during an interview with a theist about The Life of Brian. I remember both well and it makes me cringe to think about it.... and my part in it, back then.
