there isn't any, at least nothing that stands up to logic and reproducible experimentation
the idea is based on a collection of stories
the stories were written to help others deal with the unknown, to develop a common social structure, and were selected to maintain order and power
this is why creationism is faith-based, it's not real, but it can be as real as you want it to be

There is none. Creationism is a religious concept and not a scientific one. Every religion on earth has its own explanation for how the Earth and life came to be. The biblical stories in Genesis are only two of the many many creation stories around the world. There is no more scientific support for the Genesis story than there is for any other creation story.

There is absolutely no real evidence for Creationism. It is a falsehood perpetuated by christians to try and force the teaching of their religion in public classrooms.
On the other hand there is overwhelming evidence for Evolution. Evolution is defined as the change in allelic frequency over time. This can and has been shown to occur over and over again.
Unfortunately, scientific method is poorly understood by the layman. Science method doesn't/can't "prove" anything. It can only disprove hypothesies. A theory, by definition, is scientific fact. Anyone who says "evolution is only a theory" doesn't understand what they are talking about. Gravity "is only a theory".

Go to this website and read his material. Evolution is only a THEORY...it is not a factual absolute and there has been no evidence found to conclusively support it. Unfortunately, people confuse don't pay attention to the "theory" part of evolution and feel that since it is taught in schools that it is a fact. Creationism can be substantiating in much the same way (as you will see once you've read this guys material), but liberalism fights its teaching not because they don't feel it is scientific, but because it gives the credit to God instead of random acts of mutation. This guy has offered a $250,000 reward for anyone who can prove evolution (change it from theory to a fact) and gives lots of practical, scientific information to support creation science.

Creationism is a logical fallacy, creationism states that complex things must have a creator, but if god is complex who created god? creationism results in an endless series of creators

The Main Points of Creationist Theory
- all organisms are created by God
- organisms created in six days of creation
- species are immutable (unchanged and unchangable)
- variation is present with species but if very limited
Each of these points can be easily challenged by modern evolutionary thought, but they are what creationist believe in.

Some aspects of life are so incredibly complex that it's difficult to believe it's all an accident. But you end up with a chicken and egg thing. If it's all due to Intelligent Design, where did the designer come from?
To the best of my knowledge, no scientist has been able to create life from raw chemicals. They can alter existing life, but they can start with a room full of chemicals and machines and create life.
And thus, some people feel, "It must have been God."

Hi. No evidence, just one reference book.

You are the evidence, you knowing yourself as you while simultaneously knowing yourself as you; self awareness. It's not possible as a stand alone biological process, which means there's a lot more to you than meets the eye; it's also the case that being self-aware while capable of knowing yourself as being self-aware "you" aren't the product of a random act of biological confluence, i.e. this sperm met this egg this day. Also, you can't be self-created as the total you, thus your making was externally generated, and I'm not referring to your body. Finally, there's no "proof" of evolution as the sole engine; in fact many scientists call it into question because it fails to account for the variety of species.

Let me transpose the question and ask:
What are the evidence that there is a creator?
