The "theory of Creationism"? I don't think I touched on that. The *theological* notion that the universe and humanity were "created" by an omnipotent God cannot be "disproven" by any form of empirical "science." That's ridiculous.The Christian "Creatio ex nihilo" by definition is, in real theology, beyond human cognition. It is a revealed "mystery" if you want to get theologically technical about it.There is no form of empirical or laboratory science which can "prove" that the universe was *not* created by a loving God. That's absurd in the extreme. That's why ... atheistic scientism --- is epistemologically dubious. There are no "scientific" data which in any way "prove" Christian theology to be "wrong" about anything. The existence of God, the immortality of the soul, the drama of redemption, and the divinity of Christ, for instance, are not within the realm of the physical sciences. It's fine to adhere to the various "theories" of evolution if that proves entertaining. "Evolution" does not present propositions or evidence which alter Christianity. That's expecting science to provide a metaphysics, a total view of reality.
