There is no such thing as SCIENTIFIC creationism.  If you would care to state
your exact meaning, and your evidences, and your conception of the meaning of
the word "scientific", perhaps we could have more of a debate than this useless
"yes there is", "no there isn't", rather Monty Python "argument".
For all versions of creationism that I have seen (and, yes, I do try to study
the opposition), we would have to discard not only modern biology but all of
physics, astronomy and geology.  We *might* get chemistry, meteorology, and one
or two others to survive.  If all you mean is the inarguable "it was all created
recently to *look* as though it's old" philosophy, then forget it.  My God is
not that malicious.
