Creationism doesn't have a scientific explanation for the diversity of life, they have a miraculous explanation.
A miraculous explanation is not now and never will be a scientific explanation.
And where is the demand for ACTUAL scientists in the Free Market going to go? You think suddenly oil exploration companies will hire YEC geologists to help them find oil; that suddenly biotechnology companies will hire creation-biologists to help them find cures for disease?
Why don't they do so now?
I know why! Because the Free Market has shown that assumptions of great age of the Earth pays off in terms of accurate prediction in geology; thus the Free Market hires REAL geologists.
Similarly the Free Market has shown that assumptions of evolution pays off in terms of accurate predictions in biology; thus the Free Market hires REAL biologists.
But good luck convincing the Free Market they are wrong, and that there is untapped potential in hiring creationists posing as scientists to make the next big discovery that will pay off!
You can do your song and dance, but the Free Market isn't interested in purchasing much of what you are selling!
Sure it is. Most of the great scientists of history were Creationists.

Okay. Then why don't you just support returning to Creationist Parents the $10,000 per-child, per-year which is currently extorted from them for the teaching of Evolutionism -- and prepare to marvel at the sudden, massive demand which will erupt for scientist-educators from the Discovery Institute, the Institute for Creation Research, the Creation Research Society, and the many other Creation Science foundations.
Of course, many Evolutionists will very quickly be out of a job, without Government Subsidies for the teaching of Child-Abuse Evolutionism. We Parents will not support Child Abusers with our purchasing dollars, for ANY amount of alleged post-graduation "payoff", given the Economic Choice.
But you don't want to do that, because you support Communism in Education, not Capitalism.
I, however, am a Capitalist.
Of course, Jefferson was right.
You mean as scientific as *Some how all this chemical soup came together and started life, inanimate substances assembling into sentient life.*
And then, with not precedent to support it, we're assuming that great changes in the numbers of chromosomes, which are usually deleterious, weren't and many life forms evolved all on their own into the variety of life we see on the planet today.
If you're going to state that creationism doesn't produce anything of value, then to be consistent, you're going to need to throw out all the scientific groundwork laid by all the scientists who lived BEFORE Darwin, AND the scientific research done by his peers who disagreed with him.
By your own standard, they produced nothing of value.
