I think it's going to have a positive future, oddly, because creationism is only going to get more and more intellectually plausible. A lot like Intelligent Design. What's going to do it won't be 'evidence against evolution!' per se, but continued technological accomplishments by mankind. People already are getting into the idea of simulation theory (and that's on a secular level!) Most likely that idea is not going to go away, and the plausibility of a simulated universe goes hand in hand with the plausibility of that universe being a lot younger than we'd think.

Now that the museums are full of millions of pieces of evidence for evolution, and now that geneticists know how evolution happens, and now that even the study of epigenetics is well underway, what on earth makes you think that anybody but the severely brain-dead are going to revert to fairy tales instead of science? "Intellectually plausible"? Not bloody likely.
creationism is only going to get more and more intellectually plausible.
Sure, any day now, just as soon as someone finally finds some evidence for it.

At least they're finally starting to wise up that bashing evolution doesn't mean that biblical creationism is the only true alternative, but the addition of "per se" means they won't stop bashing evolution.
"more and more intellectually plausible. A lot like Intelligent Design"
No, sweetie. ID is NOT intellectually plausible and that's because it IS creationism. They pretty much nailed that down in a court case a while back.
I do like how if two scientists declare they're creationists, the followers shout about it being A GROWING TREND! while 30,000 scientists graduate each year.
(Un)'Intelligent Design' was shot down in flames over a decade ago. Just ask a certain Professor of Biochemistry about his 'credibility' since. Tow words: 'cdesign propnentsists'.
And when it was a Conservative Christian judge, John E. Jones III, who pulled the trigger on that legal Barrett M82A1: the .50 cal. round that was his decision - and it being a precedent-setting one - which ensured it had no constitutional credibility: and therefore has no right to exist, the 'simulation' will only exist in your brain cell: collective .
...and 'Simulation Theory'? Bitch, please: that's even more retarded than the tinfoil (ass)hatters since the Wachowski Brothers made a certain film in the late 1990s.
But when Un 'Intelligent Design' sank harder than a lead 'Ark': and 'Teach the Controversy' has blown up in your own faces, I guess you loony-tunes are reduced to straw molecules to grasp at: never mind straw dust.
...and when your use of so-called 'Simulation Theory' has dissipated like a damaged program in the digital realm of "Tron"/"Tron: Legacy", what's left for you: Straw Sub atomic particles...?!
End of line.
How so? "Intelligent" Design was laughed out of court in Kitzmiller vs Dover in 2005, for being nothing other than cretinism in New Clothes (and we all know how well that worked for The Emperor). Has anything spectacular happened since then, making ID less of a joke?
Evidence against evolution, if it existed, wouldn't automatically be evidence for cretinism, dolt.
Why would advances and accomplishments suddenly fool people into thinking the world was created Last Tuesday?
The simulation argument is nothing but sophistry, cut in shred by merely pointing Ockham's razor in its direction.
Although, having just watched this video , God (especially the Rapture Ready version) as a AAA game publisher makes a disturbing amount of sense...
"....because creationism is only going to get more and more intellectually plausible" - Sure, I mean, it's not like it can get any less intellectually plausible.
"A lot like Intelligent Design" - of course it's a lot like Intelligent Design, you mook! Intelligent (ha!) Design is creationism in a stolen lab coat.
"....the plausibility of a simulated universe goes hand in hand with the plausibility of that universe being a lot younger than we'd think" - Oh really? Care to explain that in more detail?
