Are you equating any questioning of OoL dogma with creationism? That's not how science works, buddy.

Sigh, no. You're asserting that a lot in this thread, but that's not what's happening. In my comment above, I linked to a great learning resource that directly addresses the questions ezrion raised, and is good reading if you're actually curious. Separately, I addressed the likely context in which the question is getting asked, and pointed out that the worldview that starts with creationism is thought-terminating, and should be reassessed as a foundation.
It's great to question any existing consensus. But do so with the intent of learning, not trying to sneak in a religious worldview. If you're going to push a religious agenda, be courteous and at least be up front about it.

No, that's exactly what's happening. Ezrion is asking good questions. Dismissing those questions is not valid science. It's always valid in science to ask "but how do you know?" It is then necessary to accept a good explanation in good faith, though. However, OoL has gaping holes that are currently papered over with handwaving. It's not required to accept handwaving.
