Maybe the Kents and Kens of creationism who make money off of it, or the sheep who were scared by it so bad they can't leave. The rest will follow. I am more towards getting rid of creationism than religion.

I think the problem is that you are addressing an audience that doesn't care about evidence. That's why they believe that the bible is valid evidence in the first place. You could present all of this and they'd go 'So what? It's my faith and that's more important than your evidence." If that wasn't their thought process they would never believe that dinosaurs and man co-existed in the first place. So your whole process for approaching someone with such an out of place worldview doesn't seem very practical.

In fact I'd be very concerned with legitimizing the bible as meaning anything in terms of scientific evidence. If you say that the description for dragons in the bible doesn't match up with dinosaurs, so man didn't live with dinosaurs, can't a creationist legitimately believe in dragons because they are in the bible?
