Fine. Start making some useful predictions with creation science.

I predict the fossil record would show most forms of life appearing abruptly, kind of like a Cambrian explosion.
I predict a scarcity in anything that can even be reasonably claimed to be a transition.
I predict life will show stasis and extinction.
I predict we will find many of today's creatures existed in larger size in the past.
I predict we will find sedimentary layers all over the earth, as if laid by a worldwide flood.
I predict we will NOT find gradual change in the underground terrain, as if it developed over billions of years, but we will find stratification s if the earth had been flooded.
I predict we will find fossils all over the world.

Fine. Start making some useful predictions with creation science. Welllll ... One can easily issue the same challenge for evolution. And evolution would fail the test just as badly. Both theories are attempting to explain how we got to where we are, not where we're going.
Incidentally, I'm not taking a stand either way on the scientific aspects of the debate. In the one comment, I'm merely suggesting that scientists are not immune from taking ideological stands on strongly-felt (as in emotional) beliefs. And in the other, I'm suggesting that both creationists and scientists generally do not understand the real basis of the debate.
