Creation science is just plain junk, IMO.
There was a public "debate" about this a few years ago at my university. The creation scientist rattled off a whole shitload of numbers that were absolutely irrelevant to his argument, and made himself look like an idiot when he started talking about why evolution could not ever possibly occur. His examples? Legs.
"Duh... if we evolved from stuff in the sea, then why don't fish have legs?"
He based his entire argument on the fact that it was almost mathematically impossible for a fish to give birth to, say, a dog.
To be fair, the atheist side wasn't much better, but at least he had a firm grasp of what evolution was about, rather than a Powerpoint presentation about his rebirth as a Christian.
