It is one of only two logical alternatives, supported by design, which makes it more than scientific.
Non sequitur. Even if there was a creation theory, which there isn't, and even if it was the only logical alternative to evolution, which it isn't, that still wouldn't "make" creationism scientific. In order to be scientific, creationism would still have to follow the rules and procedures of science, which it doesn't.

Thats the point evolution is neither a fact nor an alternative to anything scince it demonstrates only a possibilty, that answers nothing about the origin of anything
Of course evolution is a fact, as demonstrated countless times. You have no excuse for not understanding that. My point was that creationism is not a viable alternative to that fact because creationism can not be demonstrated. Not even a miracle can turn creationism into science.

A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers.
If the evidence is as good for design as evolution, how come no one publishes papers about this "theory"?
The deal-breaker there would be "detached groups of researchers". In order to come up with a conclusion of design, you pretty much have to be attached to the presupposition of design.
