I remember back in the day when people cared about creationists, there was the Talk.origins FAQ, which you could just point people to. AskHistorians even has an FAQ that could be used similarly.

That said, it'd still lead to a degradation and constant mod cleanup work to post links to the FAQ and close the thread (if not closed, fellow travelers would upvote it and use it as a JAQ platform).

An insane number of people still hold the same creationist beliefs as back then, but I am happy it's not in the public discourse as much.

Expect to see it more:

This is brought on by a change in the composition of the Supreme Court, and there's a significant chance it will permit creationism in schools. Expect to see more attempts to reach the Supreme Court to overturn its previous decisions, and if it does, expect a great many states to pass similar laws.

And then expand them.
