The question, though, is, do creationists have scientific data? The basic tenets of scientific creationism closely parallel Genesis: the earth is roughly 10,000 years old (prevailing estimates are that its age is about 4.6 billion years); the planets, stars and all living things were literally created in six days by a "Designer"; the different species of plants and animals were created, they did not evolve from...
