The data fits the creation framework AT LEAST as well as it fits the evolution framework.

Well, sure. What data would not fit the creation framework? No matter what you observed, you could always say "God made it that way."

But what's the predictive ability of the creation framework? The evolution framework gives scientists a basis for making predictions--the classic example is why we need new flu shots every year and how they decide what to put in the ones we get. What prediction can you make based on "God made it that way"?

“What data would not fit the creation framework? No matter what you observed, you could always say “God made it that way.” “

It’s not a complete bank check. The main factors are a six-day creation period (not ongoing), the fall (no death prior to sin), and the flood.

The ToE is at least as flexible. How many times do we see data that surprised scientists, but rather than question the theory, they come up with a new just-so story to explain how it must have evolved.

“But what’s the predictive ability of the creation framework?”

Here’s something that comes to mind. http://creation.com/mercurys-magnetic-field-is-young

Tell me about evolution’s.
