The above is, of course, fiction but let us assume that the above did happen. What would this mean for Creationism? Can it step up to the plate and provide an explanation for the variety, diversity and nature of life on earth?
I'm with Darwin Storm on this one; I think you're missing an important point. The main reason why many scientists think creationism is not really an explanation is not that there's a better alternative, or that there isn't a God, but that there's very little scientific support for creationism. It fails to answer a lot of questions. So if evolution would be incorrect, that alone would not make the case for creationism stronger. Instead scientists would look for other theories or explanations that are consistent with the facts and evidence we now have. Creationism just isn't that explanation.
