The only book you need to convince a creationist how nutty creationism is is the Book of Genesis. It is chock-full of contradictions and doesn’t make sense at all as a theory. To believe every word you have to disagree with yourself. Genesis sucks as a plausible theory. The best way to fight Creationism is to go through Genesis line by line. You cut down trees at the base.

Yes, but you need to do it in a way that makes it clear you are not trying to destroy their belief in God. You can’t convince anyone of anything while they are on the defensive, and attacking their beliefs will do exactly that.
