What predictions could we make based on special creationism? What does creationism tell us about the world? How does the knowledge that all kinds of animals are unrelated, created some 6,000 years ago, help us understand reality?
Animals are not humans.
Animals are good for eating.
Animals were designed and engineered by the same person using the same principals as humans.
Animals are otherwise, not related to humans.
Benefits are,
we don't have to worry that we are eating our relatives when we eat fish
we can farm animals as food
we can use animals for developing medicine
we can use animals as workers
Earth is the only source of life in the cosmos.
Benefits are
we don't need to waste any money or resources looking elsewhere.
We can focus our interests on the 99% our planet not yet explored.
Likely we've only
documented the existence of 1/2 of the existing species,
so we can focus on sustainability studies and figure out how to keep food supplies going.
We can focus on the design and engineering of infinite complexity found in any living systems.
We can count on infinitely complex and intelligent systems to study and learn from.
We can use design principals we find to sustain ourselves.
What happens if we ignore this infinite database of knowledge and design?
What if we just assume that our world is a fluke accident and inherently stupid?
Then we would develop non-organic solutions for:
Creating shelter
controlling our environment
transportation
communication
knowledge storage, library functions
teaching / learning
all with the mindset that we are the most intelligent solution finders possible.
All
assuming that humans are the best-equipped, most intelligent engineers in world.
