I'm not going to bother refuting every single idiotic creationist claim that has already been refuted thousands of times by various scientists. I don't have that much time to waste. There is no new material in creationism, it's still the same crap that has been around 30 years ago that's continually recycled. Now, if there's something specific you'd like me to refute feel free to bring it to my attention. Or you can just go to
http://talkorigins.org/ as they've pretty much covered every creationist argument out there.
This link has a complete index of creationist arguments and their refutations:

If you're arguing for a literal 6-day creation of the world I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

The Earth cannot be rotating around NOTHING. If the Earth was created before the Sun, current planetory motion would be impossible.

If you're just gonna say "God can do anything" then there's nothing to argue but then don't claim your beliefs are reasonable or can be justified using facts.
I can make up my own creation story and whenever something is scientifically impossible I'll just say "The FSM did it." This would not be a very useful argument.
