Dealing with Creationists

[gothwalk]

Later this year, I'm going to be coming into occasional, unavoidable contact with an actual practicing Creationist. I'd like not to conflict with this person any more than I have to - no conflict at all would be good. Obviously, avoiding notions like evolution and environmentalism would be smart - are there any other topics arising from a literal interpretation of the Bible that I should watch out for?

This probably sounds like some kind of passive-aggressive thing, but I've genuninely no experience in thinking of the Bible as a literal work, and I don't understand the mindset behind it.
