"People will reject a religion if they find that it contradicts what they can see plainly with their own eyes."
A man rising from the dead after three days contradicts what I see with my eyes? Does this make you reject Christianity?
A man walking on water contradicts what I see with me eyes. Does this make you reject Christianity?
A man giving sight to blind men contradicts what I see with my eyes. Does this make you reject Christianity?
A man feeding 5 thousand until they were satisfied with but a few fish and loaves of bread contradicts what I see with me eyes. Does this make you reject Christianity?
A man turning water in wine contradicts what I see with my eyes. Does this make you reject Christianity?
A virgin giving birth to a baby boy contradicts what I see with my eyes. Does this make you reject Christianity?
The Red Sea being split in two contradicts what I see with my eyes. Does this make you reject Christianity?
Science can explain none of these miracles, but I am sure you, as a Christian, have no problem with that, so what makes the miracle of creation so special that a scientific explanation is required?

A man rising from the dead after three days contradicts what I see with my eyes? No, because I never saw Jesus' dead body.
Same goes for all the other mircales. They don't contradict observation. They are at variance with what ordinarily happens, but no observation rules out the possibility that God can from time to time do something supernatural and out of the ordinary.

I do not need a scientific explanation to beleive a miracle. A miracle is by definition something that has no possible scientific explanation.
I also do not reject creation. I do believe God is the ultimate creator of the universe.
I reject creationism (as defined in this article) because I can observe things in God's creation that directly contradict it. That is, I see direct evidence that things happened another way.
In contrast, there is no physical evidence contradicting my belief that Jesus rose from the dead, that the Red Sea parted, etc, etc, etc.
