There's also this: we have a fairly good phylogenetic model of organisms and their attendant relationships. At somewhere along that model, creationists believe that all the separate "kinds" were created instantly, separately, and distinctly from one another, and they know what all of them are. They'd have to, or else they wouldn't be able to so confidently assert what goes in what kind when we talk to them.
So, given all the things a creationist would have to know to avoid talking out of their ass, we should be able to sit one down in front of a phylogenetic tree and have them point out exactly where each kind starts, how they know it started there, and so on. We'd also know from that exactly how far "microevolution" can take a species.
Of course, if we actually did that, the creationist wouldn't know where to start. Which just indicates... well, you know.
