If creationism is true, then why is it useless?

[pitabread]

I've been struggling to figure out the applications for creationism. Besides theme parks and merchandising, there doesn't appear to be anything else.

Why no biological applications? Or any other areas of applied science?

I mean, if creationism was true, wouldn't they have figured out a way to use it with respect to applied biology, geology, etc, by now? What's the hold up?

 

[Nithavela]

There's no reason to apply creationism, jesus is about to come back and take his children home.

Because the entire thesis is "God did it;end"

They have. There have been numerous documentaries on the science of creationism, and many Christian University teach and do research into creationism. There are several institutes of Creation science that do all kinds of biological applications with creationism. Just saying there is not any does not make it true.

Life's origin doesn't really have any implications, anyway. You can get through life just fine believing whatever you want on the subject with virtually zero issues. The only thing creationism handicaps you on is your competence in an evolutionary profession.

Well Henry M Morris Head of the Civil Engineering Dept. at Virginia Polytechnic Institute for one.

 

[Thedictator]

Matter of Fact Dr. Morris has done a lot of research on the Flood and has a lot of facts that the flood took place. Also VPI is one of the top 10 institutes in the world and has pasted MIT recently.

Well Henry M Morris Head of the Civil Engineering Dept. at Virginia Polytechnic Institute for one.

Morris left that position in 1970 to found the Institute for Creation Research, which has never done any biological research. He has been dead for eleven years.

Is Genesis history? is a documentary that can give a lot of names of who are doing work into creationism.

Creationists typically that species were created independently. This most certainly would have implications considering the study of their underlying genomes and the applications derived from thereof.

That's a job title, not an application of creationism.

You claimed there are applications of creationism, so present some.

Do you understand what an application of something is? It's not about finding evidence for something. It's taking that something and doing something useful with it.

I'm looking for the useful stuff.

I just read a book that he wrote and the back cover gave that information.

He should let the geologists know, because I don't think they're aware.

An example of an application of evolution would be?

 

[sfs]

An example of an application of evolution would be?

Using common descent to figure out which parts of our DNA are functionally important -- very helpful for all kinds of biomedical research.

And that has nothing to do with evolution.
