I'd hold creationism as plausible, as I do now anyway. I just don't happen
to think it *likely*. As for the rest of the Bible, that goes beyond
science, as it's been my philosophical preferences that have led me astray
from it.

What if science supported that the earth is young and not billions of years
old?

Then I'd hold creationism to be all the more likely.

What if science could prove that we could not have come into existance without
another causal force - a creator?

Science could not prove so. Otherwise it's not science. But if it were shown
to be LIKELY, then I'd put faith in a creator. But again, not the Christian
God, because, as said, other reasons apart from science have driven me from
the Bible...
