Junior,

What you fail to point out is how only the TOE could provide us with knowledge of phylogenetics.

How would creationism account for relatedness among species? To a creationist, each critter is a unique creation. Evolutionists, working from the theory that all critters are more or less related, were able to put together a chart detailing those relations, then use that chart to identify unknown organisms, or to find closely-related organisms which would be better sources of drugs (taxol), or to tie murderers to victims. These are practical applications of the theory of evolution. If creationists had anything better, they'd use it.

As an example of creationist thinking in regards to relatedness, do you remember several years ago a doctor at Loma Linda Medical School transplanted a baboon heart into a person? Seems the doctor was a Seventh Day Adventist and a dyed-in-the-wool creationist. He rejected the concept of relatedness among species (or that man would ever be related to anything like an animal). His patient died.

Now, who's theory has the more practical application?
