That's misrepresenting creationism, SF. Please reread my example. If, by definition, something is contradictory, even if only in theory, then it is wrong. Something contradictory cannot be demonstrated to be. If there were no red shirts in the world and you said you were wearing a red shirt, you would be wrong.
I'll give you an example of creationism's inherent contradictions.
1) Creationism is science.
2) The scientific method did not lead to creationism and has not been used to verify creationism.
This is an inherent contradiction. Here's another:
1) In creationism, the universe was designed for people to live in.
2) The vast, vast, vast majority of the universe would kill humans almost instantly, which no creationist denies.
Ouch. And another:
1) In creationism, infinity is impossible.
2) In creationism, the universe was created by an infinite god.
There are literally thousands of contradictions in creationism. There are logical incompatibilities between the claims of creationism. There are no such incompatibilities with, say, the scientific theory of evolution.

That's a strawman.
