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.

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

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...
