There Is No Evidence Of Creationism.
The only "proof" I have ever heard to back up creationism is an attack on Evolution. Here is an example: "Evolution can't be true because it states that this orange is related to my dog." I am not lying, I have heard this from multiple people, and it has nothing to do with evolution at all.

Creation is fantasy and you can't prove a fantasy.

Even if evolution theory were not perfect it's still the best we've got.

The thought that a few thousand years ago fingers snapped and everything was here is utterly LAUGHABLE. So did God stick million year old fossils in the ground just to test our faith?

It reminds me of when primitive cultures have a creation story like some big bird flew over and dropped a magic seed from which we all sprouted. Imagine if that culture were the dominant force today and they were saying "God, he doesn't exist, the true believers know it was that big bird who dropped a seed. Now we must insist the big bird theory be taught in schools and both Evolution and God's Creationism are to be debunked". Nonesense.

It is only belief. No one has any real evidence.

You're right, there isn't a shred of positive evidence for creationism and creationists don't even try. All they do is try to poke holes in evolution as if that does anything whatsoever to prove creationism is at all viable.

You have to remember that the majority of "professional creationists" are just shysters trying to make a buck out of people's religious gullibility.

 There are no such things as ‘brute facts’; all facts are interpreted. When the Bible is eliminated in the argument, then the Christians’ presuppositions are gone, leaving them unable to effectively give an alternate interpretation of the facts. Their opponents then have the upper hand as they still have their presuppositionsthere are no such things as ‘brute facts’; all facts are interpreted. Once the Bible is eliminated in the argument, then the Christians’ presuppositions are gone, leaving them unable to effectively give an alternate interpretation of the facts." -Ken Ham

Atheists and theists have the same evidence, it is just how we interpret them as opposed to others. Therefore there are not "professional creationists"

There is endless evidence, what it is evidence for is for each person to decide.

Yes there is evidence. Open your eyes and look around you.

It is right in front of you.

I take issue only with the word 'No' in this title (though without it there wouldn't be much debate, so fair play).

I would agree that there is very little positive evidence for creationism and that most of the evidence that does exist is 'a priori' which means it is not factual evidence but logical argument which does not need facts (for example the ontological argument). However there are some examples of evidence based arguments for the existence of God the creator as opposed to anything else. Any example is the red-shift observation that the universe is expanding at an ever slowing rate. It is the logical (as science has noted) that the universe therefore came at one point from a single spot, and the question must arise of how something can exist from nothing. Whilst this is somewhat tenous, and not entirely evidence for earth based creationism, I think it is valid.

Further to my response, but unrelated to this topic, do please comment on my debut in new debates:

 The universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate, not an ever-slowing one.

Devil's advocate: Creationism is true because Creation (the world) exists, and the Bible exists in it, and the Bible confirms Creationism. So we have the world and the Bible as two data points drawing a straight line back to Creationism.

Nobel Prize, please!!

 Yes, the world exists. But that is no proof GOD created it. The Bible was not written to be fact, it is just a collection of religous stories.

Just out of curiosity, without creation, where did evolution begin?

 I think this somewhat proves Urjak's point.
