No, simply because there is absolutely no scientific evidence to back it up. Belief in God is based on faith, science is based on experiments and evidence. They are two completely different things. I know scientists who are Christian. Not one of them would tell you that creationism is a science.

In the scientific world, where did the universe begin? With the Big Bang?
Why did it go bang?
How did it bang?
With what did it go bang?
Where did the stuff come from? Maybe it was always there, so why all in one place? Who or what put all of the material universe in a area smaller than a single cell. or smaller?
Oh course the Big Bang is just one of many theories on how the universe began. So what did science explain that creation did not? I'm at a loss.
The Bible has one explaination, although hard to gasp sometimes, still one explaination and it has not deviated since the time of Moses, when he placed pen to paper.
I guess you just have to accept some of these things on faith huh.

I think Darwin said it best when he talked about the human eye and all its complexity is not logical to be considered possible by means of evolution.
Is it anymore or less reasonable that a big bang theory happened and everything just is. Would we not still be flying in space being hurled farther away from stars and other planets and galaxies yet astronomers are not reporting the north star is shifted to the west or east. Nor do they say it is out of sight now. There is no friction in space but gravity. gravity would not stop the propulsion of planets. Science would prove it if you asked a scientist if you through a rock in space and it never hit anything or even if it did would life form on it millions of years later.
If there was life on Mars then evolution did not work right. And if there is not then why not. Something should have evolved on all planets by now. They are just as old as earth.
BOTTOM LINE is it all is faith. A theory is a faith. If not it would be fact. Science struggles to understand the creation and evolution is a tool of the creator. round and round

I wouldn't go so far as to say reasonable, but acceptable... absolutely. My opinion is that a complete and total lack of evidence denotes an absense of higher power, but as I say, it is my opinion and everyone is entitled to one.
Science looks for answers objectively, and unfortunately religion does not... so if you are referring to arguements such as intelligent design, I would have to say no. There is not one useful or intelligent arguement presented by the ID crew. If you don't believe in evolution then you are likely not part of the scientific world (as there are multitudes of evidence) so in that respect, if you think science has an agenda (which it doesn't) and some people do think that, then you are entitled to your belief regardless.

It depends on what you mean by Creation. If you mean Literal Biblical Creation, no. You are just ignoring reality in favor of a doctrine. If you mean the simplest Doctrine if Creation ("God created the universe."), that is reasonable and cannot be disproven. There are positions in between, and you are reasonable if you believe them, but are willing to admit you're wrong if evidence appears.

Under no circumstances is it reasonable to believe in "creation." There's not one iota of evidence for the existence of any god or gods.

Well remember that this scientific world will be burned to a crisp someday and the only world that is left will be spiritual or heaven. And thats where creation began!

"Believe"? No. But I do think it's not entirely unreasonable to entertain the idea of a creator. As long as you're not assigning it a name and specific characteristics and lists of its requirements of us based on nothing more than baseless ancient superstition. To do that is ignorant and arrogant.

It is not only reasonable but it is the obligation of every mankind to believe that God created everything on earth.
