In my experience, Creationists generally find fault with evolution because they are looking for it. It cannot be both ways, so in order for their beliefs to be correct, evolution has to be a lie. The earth has to be relatively young. If their god created everything, why would humans (the reason for his creation) only be here for the last geologic eyeblink? Why would we be living on a planet around an ordinary star, in the boondocks of a galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars, in a non-descript corner of a universe full of hundreds of billions of galaxies if the Bible says God created it for us?
If you are starting from an unwavering position that the Bible is the infallible word of a higher being, then nothing that contradicts that is true. Even if you can see it with your eyes. So you have to be intellectually dishonest. This is completely foreign and not understandable to me, who believes that I must test everything, gain knowledge, ask questions, try to live in reality. It is not possible to be a Creationist and do all of these things.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
