Are Christian Creationists willing to support "evidence" against Evolution that also contradicts the Bible? Or conversely any other religionist Creationist against their holy text.
You need to make a distinction here. There are various types of creationists. Some believe in a old year evolution by God approach, some in a literal YEC, the rest fall somewhere in between. I assume you're asking if a literal YEC is willing to support evidence aganist the theory that is also agnaist the Bible? Depends. Some YECs I have encountered are more bible worshippers then they are God worshippers and it seems they'd just ignore the evidence. It really depends on the person.

In short, the main debate against Evolution should be that it's an incorrect theory, not that a religion needs to prove itself right.
Not quite. Most YECs argue implicitly that if evolution is wrong, then Literal creation is true. When asked to prove the merits of their own belief they litterally turn and run never to be seen in that thread again. Most if not all books out there aganist evolution do not argue the merits of Creationism but claim it is correct, either implcitly or explicity because the alternative is false. Given how fundementally weak Literal Creationism is, it is seems this is only path they have avaliable.
quote:
Also interesting is that Jainism is a religion that goes against all Creationist theories, while not particually supporting Evolution.
It's not the only one. Manichaeism, Mandaeism, Yazidi as well. many of the ancient religions go aganist Abrahmaic beliefs yet don't support evolution.
In my humble opinion, Literal Creationism seems rather arrogant. To assume that one could entirely understand how God created everything from a relative few passages is to undermine the divine creativity of God. Science seems far more respectful in that it keeps finding out new and more complex occurances, just what one would expect from a divinic being or set of beings.
