I went to the fair today here in town. I walked into the main building and saw a dinosaur display, much like a museum, featuring realistic models and fossils. A second later, I saw the banner over the exhibit, reading, "Creation Truth Ministries." It was a travelling Creationist exhibit which tried to prove the dinosaurs only existed a few thousand years ago, as opposed to hundreds of millions of years. I kept walking. 
I went onto their website, which states, "By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."
From that platform, I marvel at the impossibility of arguing with these believers. They reject both history and TIME itself.That's like saying you were never a baby, because doing so admits that history and chronology are valid and there's no record of you ever having been a baby in the Scriptures. CASE CLOSED!
I don't understand why some Christian groups get into an uproar about the "Theory" of Evolution and why they literally go to the ends of the Earth to try and disprove it. Looking at the site, that's literally what this group has done and is doing. They're searching high and low for any scrap of "evidence" to disprove the "theory." They're digging up fossils and they're searching through caves like actual archaeologists, only after they find their samples they instantly declare them to be fakes placed there by "God," or possibly time-travelling Jesus. CASE CLOSED!
They're using real fossils to disprove Evolution. I don't understand how that works. That's like using a gun to disprove the existence of gun violence. It's like a kind of crazy that you've only ever had described to you in a comic book. It's like the nutjobs who think the pyramids were built by aliens, only these people have Bibles.
