>> Last I checked, the popular theory of evolution has not been around for very long relative to Creationism

Sadly, the fact that one idea appeared before the other doesn't mean the first one is better.

>> The way I see it, Creationism/catastrophism has been around for thousands of years, has very, very few flaws

Except the impossibly great and complex conspiracy which involves nearly all university professors and scientists in the world and exists for over 150 years doesn't admit it, right?

If you really want to accept a young earth creationist world view, you'll have to ignore a whole lot of branches of science -- starting with general relativity and astronomy (which shows starlight from over 13 billion light years away) and ending with trigonometry. 

Now, I don't think Christianity is a bad religion, and I accept Christians just as well as Buddhists, Muslims or atheists. And I agree that, right now, there is a lot more to discover for the scientists.

P.S. By the way, if you accept the Bible literally, then, according to 1 Kings 7:23,

pi equals exactly 3.
