Oddly, so few creationists hold this standard to any other scientific theory, even though the same caveat that it cannot be "proved beyond any doubt" applies to all of them.

Evolution is only the start - even some non-religous people don't like it because it hurts their pride. They don't want to be told that they are related to apes.

If evolution falls, paleontology will be next. The concept of animals existing before humans contradicts the bible.

Next will be geology - the world can't really be 6 billion years old.

Next will be astronomy - those stars can't really be that far away because the universe isn't that old.

And on it goes...

Astronomy or physics, take your pick. Variable speed of light, and variable speed of nuclear decay would do the trick too.

"Next will be geology - the world can't really be 6 billion years old."


the Grand Canyon was actually created by the Great (yet localized) Flood, a mere 7000 years ago.

Ignore all the evidence in the strata of the Canyon that scream otherwise!
