Perhaps. Or maybe it wouldn’t matter, since they are all standing on the shoulders of those who sired modern science, ie Christians.

In any case, my point was in response to the poster who kept repeating the silly claim that “creationism is an idea with absolutely no use, an intellectual dead end that leads to no further data or discovery.”

The facts say otherwise.

And your silly argument avoids the critical fact that I am talking about “poof” Creationism, not the idea that the universe was created and obeys ration laws and is predictable and knowable - something you apparently reject with your “poof”ter dodge of ‘maybe the constants are not constant’ ‘how do you know when you were not there’ and ‘you cannot assume anything’ claptrap.

Rather pitiful that your only defense for me pointing out that while scientific assumptions leads to further data and discovery, while “poof” creationism is an intellectual dead end - is to point out that belief in an ordered and rational and predictable universe (something you reject) was an invaluable philosophical contribution to science.
