The two sources below pretty much cover the arguments that I've heard the most.

The first problem with that is, as minimalist said, that the order still stands without the dating. Then of course there's the fact that radio metric dates give consistent dates.
Oooh i almost forgot to add the best part! The order observed in the fossil record was ford discovered and documented by... Wait for it... CREATIONISTS!!! Their discovery made them determine that the record was too complex to be caused by a flood
