Creationism: May, 2010. A scientist inserted synthetic DNA into a cell and the cell with this synthetic DNA was capable of self-replicating. A step toward humans creating life. See May 24, 2010 publication by the Venter Institute. (Google "synthetic DNA").

Try looking here for examples to your teacher's question:

www.anchorstone.com

This site has evidence to many of the stories of the Bible, but I haven't looked for any regarding creation.  There is a a search button, so type in "creation" and see what it brings up for you. 

Good Luck!

Tell your teacher that you deserve the marks because you know it is an unanswerable question--that questions of creation are religious questions, which belong in the context of religion. They have nothing to do with science, which concerns testable theories. Creation "theories" are by definition untestable because they are based on faith, not fact.

Unless you are going to a church school, I think your teacher is giving you a trick question or trying to make a point.  Mainstream scientists do not believe in creationism and do not think that there is any evidence to support creationism.

If you are at a church school, your teacher may believe things on this link http://bestbiblescience.com/top.htm

Alternately, go and Google "creation science" and find your own.
