Have a look at, and bookmark, An Index to Creationist Claims.
For some of you, this might be like recommending a hymnal to the choir, but it's always nice to have facts gathered up in one convenient location.
Excerpt from the site's intro:
Creationist claims are numerous and varied, so it is often difficult to track down information on any given claim. Plus, creationists constantly come up with new claims which need addressing. This site attempts, as much as possible, to make it easy to find rebuttals and references from the scientific community to any and all of the various creationist claims. It is updated frequently; see the What's New page for the latest changes.
Since most creationism is folklore, the claims are organized in an outline format following that of Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature. Sections CA through CG deal with claims against conventional science, and sections CH through CJ contain claims about creationism itself.
This collection is intended primarily as a guidepost and introduction. The explanations are not in depth (with a few exceptions), but most responses include links, references, and sources for more information.
As I noted on the recommending site: From my time on the site, I am reminded of the same sort of pleasure I used to get flipping through an encyclopedia.

Good to see you've finally come around on this issue. Baby Jesus smiles in heaven at your realization that we are not, in fact, monkeys, and that fossils are nothing more than frozen angel tears.
