Here are some beliefs Christians Creationists believe that I believe can not be supported by scripture.
---
There was no rain before the flood
God made the stars appear older than the are by millions of years.
The Earth is only 6000 years old
Adams organs did not work properly anymore after the fall
Venom in snakes and spiders had no purpose before the fall
Physical death of animals is due to the fall,
All animals were vegitarian before the fall.
Before the fall we had Sea weed eating Great White Sharks, Grass eating Red back spiders,
Nothing died before the fall,
God inserted a death gene into all life after the fall.
God altered some animals genetically so that they would eat flesh after the fall.
The days were 24 hours long

If you have the scriptures I'd be interested.

Having trouble with this one - I think it needs a rewrite
You have a couple that (IMO) do have scriptural support.
You have a number that concern the same general realm, such as "before the fall" and the related "after the fall". Perhaps this could be combined into a discussion.
There are some redundancies, such as "All animals were vegitarian (sic) before the fall" and "Before the fall we had Sea weed eating Great White Sharks, Grass eating Red back spiders", and the related "God altered some animals genetically so that they would eat flesh after the fall".
Actually, most but not all of your message 1, concerns "before and after the fall". I think you should focus on that theme and discard the other subtopics (maybe something for an existing topic or a future new topic). How about editing the message to that focus, and changing the topic title to something like "Before and After the Fall"?
Or something like that. Perhaps another admin might have better suggestions.

Re: Having trouble with this one - I think it needs a rewrite
I agree, a thread on pre/post fall conditions would be good. As currently structured the thread would cover too many distinct topics, but a focus on the evidence and arguments for differences would probably work pretty well.
