Creationists don't assert that Venus is the likeliest place to
find life.  Creationists assert that "likely" is not a word that
can be applied to the natural formation of life.  But, feel free
to make up what you want.
Even if Creationists did claim as you claim they claim, it isn't
a strawman but just another debatable point.  But, I bet you're
making up a new definition for strawman.
