A piss poor example, and a complete stretch.

The founding fathers were not engaged in Creationism when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.

They were engaged in an act of rebellion, and forming a revolution.

Nothing in the Declaration of Independence is dependent upon or derived from the notion that all species arrived in their present form simultaneously some few thousand years ago.

If that is the best example you guys can come up with as “something of use” derived from Creationism you are really grasping at straws.

Anything of use derived from creationism by actual creationists who actually rejected the theory of evolution, you know something sometime AFTER the 1860’s?

No? Nothing?

Creationism produces nothing of any value.

Is THAT your definition of "creationism?" The Framers never heard of it, I assure you.

They were speaking of the Creator God. They asserted the inalienability of the human rights of Life, Liberty, and Happiness (property) on grounds that these rights were endued in us directly by God. That is what makes them "inalienable" — they are part of our own human nature as creatures of God.
