I've been told by a hindu once that the entire scripture is science. Back then I was too polite to say anything and just gave her an incredulous look. If only I can redo that encounter ...
Politeness is good, though for you wouldn't have been able to change her mind. Sounds like you did the right thing at the time.
To me, coming from a religious life, I understand the mindset of following a holy book over a science one. I left it because to me, I realized it was all a lie and I could no longer accept practicing rituals to support a lie. But, before I realized the lie, I thought it was truth. So, the moral of the story is -- not until I left religion, did I ever feel "enlightened."
(So, to the OP -- creationism isn't a theory because it can't be supported by facts. Holy books can't be considered factual evidence.)
