Is support of de novo creation motivated by fear?

Isn’t the point being made by @swamidass and endorsed by guys like @NLENTS that science cannot rule out a “special creation” of Adam and Eve?
As @NLENTS pointed out in his endorsement of the book…

As a secular scientist, I was seriously skeptical of this book. Nevertheless, Swamidass has ably shown that the current evidence in genetics and ancestry is compatible with a recently de novo –created couple as among our universal common ancestors.

Do you feel there is sufficient scientific evidence to rule out a de Novo creation?
