Frank: You've had more success than I've had.
I worked in science for over thirty years (chemistry). Although I live in Norn Iron (the creo capital of the UK) I actually only ever worked with Atheists, Agnostics, nominal Christians, and one Baptist whose lifestyle left a lot to be desired. Confusius say " man with many girls on string soon get into tangle" springs to mind ! So we never discussed creationism in work.
However, despite considering myself scientifically literate, I mistakingly joined in with the various discussion threads over on Premier Christian Radio's discussion forum. (I know, I'll have to get out of the house a bit more):
http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/forum/topics/a-reply-to-creationist
It has all become very tedious and I feel I'm banging my head against a brick wall. However, a few things re-occur throughout the discussions;
(1) Christians who accept millions of years/evolution (i.e. mainstream science) aren't really Christians at all. In their heart of hearts this is what they really believe. They can't come out and say this because they know it's heresy.
(2) The evidence for YECism is exactly the same as mainstream science. it's just the interpretation that's different (i.e.biblical glasses and all that crap)
(3) The peer review process is nothing less than biast against creationists. The Royal Society, the Royal Institution etc. are nothing more than Atheistic organisations, blatently anti-Chrtistian.
(4) Science is entransigent against any new ideas. They (the YECs) consider themselves just like Galileo. Eventually YEC science will be mainstream science.
Anyway, here's were I worked until I retired a few years ago:

You can see the laboratory in some of the photos.
