He admits that creationism doesn't have much scientific evidence going for it. Unfortunately, he still holds onto the hope something might happen to support the belief he has in god. Ah well.
The problem with them is they refuse to see that a fatal flaw to their little system will render it moot. That flaw is the use of magic to start the whole thing. When I saw that scolding post a few spots back here I literally laughed out loud. You don't have scientific theories based of "Poof, the Universe was ordered to appear by a bearded get with a penchant for foreskins." So "reading up on creationist theories is horsehit. I've read Ray Comfort's books, I've dug through "creation science" websites for information, I even bought a used copy of Intelligent Design for Complete Idiots. (Admittedly, that was just because the title sounded so right, but I did plow through it.)
