Unfounded attacks?  That really is hilarious, Nick.  Okay,... you asked 
for it. 
1) Creationism is often claimed to be a science.  When no science is 
   actually done.  (ie. observe, hypothesize, try to disprove through 
   experiment).  Thus, creationism is not a science, a popular idea many
   people like to think is truth, but is in no way substantiated by the 
   scientific method.  NOTE: there is no way to actually prove or 
   disprove creationism (the idea that everything was created by a god),
   and this makes all creationist arguments circular.
   
2) Creationism stems from a belief in "God".  The key word here is 
   "belief", which makes creationism a religion and has no place being 
   argued as a science.
   
DISCLAIMER:  When this argument becomes circular, which I expect it to 
rather quickly, I will end the argument by not replying to the thread (as
I have done in the past many times).
NOTE:  I do hope that you are not like many of the other "creationists"
that simply regurgitate the same old arguments. :)  Originality is THE 
key.  ;)
