Dr Jay uses hard science that supports creationism, does he?
I searched diligently and managed to find all the science that supports creationism, and I quote it below:
That's a pretty impressive list, isn't it?
and what books are you quoting from? here are some of his credentials for science and teaching:
Dr. Jay L. Wile holds an earned Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in nuclear chemistry and a B.S. in chemistry from the same institution. He has won several awards for excellence in teaching and has presented numerous lectures on the topics of Nuclear Chemistry, Christian Apologetics, Homeschooling, and Creation vs. Evolution. In addition, he has published 30 articles on these subjects in nationally-recognized journals.
His teaching credentials include: The University of Rochester, Indiana University, Ball State University, and The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics and Humanities (a high school for gifted and talented students).
and here are some links to excerpts from his books:

Comments: "My 7th grader absolutely loved this curriculum. We used the tests and experiments. The book is not dry reading like most textbooks. It reads like a good book and holds the student's attention well. My son was always coming up to me to discuss what he had read in the book."

Comments: "This is a great 7/8th grade science text! Dr Wile writes in such a way that is easily understndable and very interesting. It holds the attention of my ADHD son. The tests were a bit too complicated for us but I supplemented them with oral testing. He does suggest the student be taking or have had pre-algebra with this, but we did not have a problem in not having it yet."
chemistry:
The award-winning chemistry course that took the homeschool community by storm is now even better! Featuring Dr. Wile's easy-to-understand explanations---revised for extra clarity---this Christ-centered modular course offers a rigorous foundation in high-school/college-prep chemistry. The colorful, user-friendly text is designed specifically for home learners and employs experiments using only readily available chemicals and equipment. Completion of Algebra 1 is a prerequisite. Includes a 272-page test/solutions book. 603 pages, hardcover.
biology:
Designed as the first high school-level science study a homeschooler takes, this new edition of Dr. Wile's biology curriculum includes more color illustrations; clarified explanations; easier experiments; and a website with links to extra helps. Sixteen modules cover cell life, genetics, creation science as an alternative to evolution, ecology, insects, plants, reptiles, mammals, and more. Includes a 200-page test/solutions book. 594 pages, hardcover.
physics:
Looking for a homeschool science curriculum that can be easily understood? Here it is! Designed as a precursor to high school biology, this course discusses topics like the atmosphere, weather, Earth's structure, the physics of motion, and the environmentalist movement. Grades 7 to 9. Hardcover student book features questions and answers, lab exercises using household items, and study guides. Includes a 113-page softcover test/solutions book. 445 pages, hardcover.

Comments: "I have homeschooled now for 10 years and I am very pleased with this science book. All the experiment supplies were easy to get, and proved the point. The historical info on the scientist is comprehensive enough for my 16yr old and clear enough for my 10yr old. Science was a joy this last year. They remembered well into the year the information, the experiments and the reason behind them."
there are other teachers featured on the back of each book who are highly qualified in the science fields and hold these books in high esteem. the argument from entropy, which has yet to be debunked, is detailed in the physics book in great detail.
