Re: geology, physics, astronomy, etc.
perhaps you missed this one...


JOHN SANFORD

Ph.D. in plant breeding and genetics, University of Wisconsin, professor at Cornell University

“Genesis 1-11 was a great challenge to my faith. Creation, the Fall, and the Flood seemed impossible—and it stood in direct defiance of my old religion, evolution. ... To accept this would result in a total overthrow of my entire mental framework. It would mean that the whole story of evolution, which had come to permeate every field of knowledge, was a lie—a monumental deception. ...

“Ironically, after becoming a creationist (by faith, not by knowledge), my mind has been renewed. An overthrow of my old mind was exactly what was needed to make room for a new mind and a new understanding. I have not had to turn off my mind—indeed, the challenge of understanding and defending Genesis has been the most exciting and stimulating phase of my entire scientific career. ... Now that I have become a creationist, I have experienced a renaissance of my interest in all the sciences, including cosmology, astronomy, geophysics, geology, biology, genetics, paleontology, linguistics, and more. ...


You’re mis-understanding imho is w/ uniformitarianism - true creation science does not violate any true scientific disciplines [excl ‘evolution’ of course].

Or if you’d like a complete rebuttal of plate tectonics see Walt Brown’s online book - Part II refutes it w/ his hydroplate theory [creationscience.com].

HYDROPLATE THEORY!!!!! Oh that is RICH. Yeah - and tell me with a straight face that it is only evolution that Creationists disagree with? That one takes the cake as far as losing your mind.

“the challenge of understanding and defending Genesis” is John’s acknowledged mission in life, not science - not utilization of the scientific method to discover reliable models and predictions of the natural world.

Science works because it presupposes natural causes for natural phenomena. Presupposing supernatural causes for natural phenomena has a long and rich history, none of it producing anything of any actual value towards knowing and predicting the natural world.

It isn’t so much that Creationism is wrong, it is that it is absolutely of no use.
