But that is the point. If you don't look at things with the same reference, you get different answers.

Consider creationism and evolution as 2 Euler circles that not only don't intersect, they don't even mathematically "kiss". So one man's "4" is another man's
"11".

Not all answers are objectively correct, regardless of the reference of the observer. To say otherwise, as in "one man's "4" is another man's "11," is to say that all references are equally valid.

If you believed differently, I could simply tell you my reference was different than yours, therefore my answer was as correct as yours.

This may be true subjectively, with religious beliefs. It isn't valid objectively. Creationism does not explain the objective facts to the degree that evolution does.

Creationism simply dresses up religion as science. It seeks to justify objectively that which requires justification subjectively.
