The question is what evidence can be presented from either side of the argument. Can creationism predict and then test results? Can evolution?
From everything I have ever read, creationism is a faith-based philosophy. On the other hand, there are many tests and mountains of evidence to support evolution.
A great place to start (even if you don’t buy it at least you will be exposed to the concepts that are being presented) are these two sites:

The question is what evidence can be presented from either side of the argument. Can creationism predict and then test results? Can evolution? The more I read, the more I believe, yes, creationism can predict and test results. For example, when a volanic eruption like Mt. St. Helens erupts, certain geological features such as stratification can be predicted to be seen. Petrification can be predicted under certain conditions (consistent with the flood) to occur very rapidly. Sedimentary layers also yield some interesting results

On the flip side, Evolutionists often use dating methods that don't work with specimens of known age and expect us to believe they will work with objects of unknown age. The same object is tested to be several varying ages. Some objects have tested to be even older than the universe is supposed to be much less the earth(but since the authorities say 4.6 billion years then the younger date is assumed).
Here are some interesting articles on problems with the theory and its record. They aren't necessarily pertinent to this post, but I thought they were interesting because of the vast age of the one and the variance of scientific opinion on the other. Note: If the 95% is correct in article two, then it is conceivable that the "basking shark" from the Japanese boating expedition was actually a plesiosaur. I am not claiming that it was, just that genetic similarity does not equal macroevolution.
