Could it be that if they did commit to X number of years BC we non-believers could then present real verifiable scientific proof that creationism is a load of cobblers?

There are many stabs at dating creation: In Shakespeare's "As You Like It," Rosalind says, "The poor world is almost six thousand years old." This probably reflects contemporary popular belief. Martin Luther had it at 4000 BC, Johannes Kepler at 3992 BC, and the most accurate, or, at least, precise, of all was Bishop James Ussher who set it on 23d October, 4004 BC.
