The fossil record, genetics research, lab testing and real world observation of life... all of these work to refine the theory and build and improve our understanding of it.
evolution - there is one sample size (earth) so no general principle can be deduced.
creation - God needed only one human type species on one planet to fulfill His purposes.
The 'general principle' of creation is whatever you decide it to be, and it can be shifted at a moment's notice if you find it to be convenient to do so. Behind the premise that god can do anything, creation can be molded in an infinite number of ways to fit any scenario and to accept any evidence. The only research and experimentation ever done on behalf of creation is done via human imagination.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
