I would offer that geologists have already refuted the creationists many
times over.
Concerning archeology and biblical history, there was an article in last
week's Science that I imagine many here would be interested in:
14C Dates from Tel Rehov: Iron-Age Chronology, Pharaohs, and Hebrew Kings,
Bruins et al., vol 300, p. 315-318.
If someone is interested and doesn't have access to Science, I would be
willing to email the .pdf file, just ask.
Yours,
Chuck
