Are their any experiments I can run, or any experimental data that I can look at to prove Creationism is correct? Are there any papers in peer-reviewed journals that would support a creationist point of view?
I've read Darwin’s black box, and much of the information by the discovery institute.... ALL of it has been debunked, and none of it was peer reviewed to begin with.
So please creationist, give me something tangible, because your arguments don't pass the logic test.
I need hard experimental evidence that can be repeatedly tested for accuracy

I agree with your sentiment that experimental evidence is preferable to blind faith. However, experiments can never "prove" that a theory is correct; they can only confirm that it is consistent with observation. This is why well supported theories, like the round Earth, or evolution by natural selection, are still considered theories.

For example, could an omnipotent god have actually made the Earth flat, but then create an illusion that it is round? Or could this god have left all sorts of clues lying around (like bone fossils and gene fossils) just to fool our gullible scientists into accepting Darwin's theory?

Just because we admit that, yes a prankster god could be pulling wool over our eyes and we can't prove anything for sure, this doesn't mean we throw out all the science textbooks and go worship tree stumps.

A basic principle in science, known as "Occam's razor", helps scientists to choose among all possible theories (most of which, like religions, are truly from the lunatic fringe). Occam's razor simply prefers theories that make the fewest assumptions. And THAT is why scientists reject god-explanations; not because we can "prove" creationism or evolution, but because god-explanations require us to accept lots of extra, unobservable assumptions.

The great irony is that the world's religions, which ask us to take untestable claims as "truth" are myths, while science, which is full of self-doubt and always re-checking its theories, is the closest thing to "truth" that we have.

per chance I did the try incorrect. My husband's deployed, basically talked to him on the phone, so I figured that could want to count number because the hug/be conscious. The words are: "i do not comprehend once you've ever theory what a uncommon aspect flame should be in the absence of guy and in a temperate climate." it sort of feels to slot with my husband being lengthy gone and all. If i fairly study something into it. --The Time gadget, H.G. Wells That became a exciting try!

But you forget, 'peer reviewed journals are controlled by rabid evolutionists and are the tool of satan and won't let people publish factual data because they are just *sob* so very mean'.

Good luck with this question, but I suspect the most you can hope for are links to wannabe websites.

No, there aren't any type of tests to prove creationism. It is based on nothing but myth.
