What makes you think that creationism is unmodifiable and unchanging?  This is nothing more than a sceptic-spread furphy, and is dead wrong.  Your rosy picture of impartial scientists observing facts and drafting a theory to fit it is the ideal, but far from reality.  If "creationist scientist" predefines their views, then can the same be said of "evolutionist scientist"?

You say that sceptics point out that there has never been a wooden boat of that size, but surely that is (a) and argument from ignorance ("we don't know of one so there must not have been one") and (b) begs the question ("we reject that the ark—a wooden boat of that size—existed, so we therefore know of no wooden boats of that size").

Your comment about space-frame construction only being discovered in the 20th century is itself ''based'' on your evolutionary views.  Evolutionists believe that man has evolved to be smarter and smarter, so in the past was too primitive to invent great technology.  Creationists, conversely, believe that man was created without blemish, and has ''deteriorated'' since.  It follows that man was ''smarter'' in the past (although lacking the accumulated knowledge that we have built up over time).  Therefore, how do you know that Noah (or God for that matter, as he gave Noah the instructions) didn't know about space-frame construction, and that it wasn't ''rediscovered'' in modern times?  Your basis for rejecting this possibility seems to be your evolutionary paradigm, not any inconsistency with the facts nor the creationary view.
