“Science is of use, while Creationism is useless”
He keeps hammering this as a mantra, probably to convince himself more than anything.
For one, it sets up a false dichotomy between “science” and Creationism. Creationists use science to observe and confirm creation theories.
Also, “of use”, means the ability to predict.
How is it any more “of use” to predict that species generationally adapt to environmental pressures by mutation
than it is “of use” to predict that species generationally adapt to environmental pressures by genetic information inherent in the species?
amd is like a broken record repeating the same mantra over and over and over...
It was just over a month ago where I replied to his [latest - on my radar anyways] useful prediction mantra.
Is Scientific Misconduct on the Rise?

Here are the hydroplate predictions since my links did not
work in post #30 [faq119].
All the predictions of the hydroplate theory are summarized below. Confirmed predictions are 2, 4, 27, 36, & 48 [so far] while the last, 50, is a missed prediction the other 44 remain for future research. Page numbers, where more information can be found, are in parentheses.
1. many fossilized whales in western Chile (49)
2. pooled water under mountains (127)
3. salty water in very deep granite cracks (128)
4. deep channels under Bosporus and Gibraltar (130)
5. fracture zones mark high magnetic intensity (138)
6. magnetic strength grows at hydrothermal vents (138)
7. earthquakes will be predicted (154)
8. Earth is shrinking (157)
9. granite layer deep under Pacific floor (163)
10. shallow-water fossils in and near trenches (163)

To what end we can only surmise, but absent of evidence to the contrary, we must believe the mantra’s primary function is to trumpet the triumph of materialist thought over Judeo-Christian tradition. The Scientific Method, as a method of material fact-finding, has proven itself superior to any other known technique, but it cannot consequentially be inferred that all of Western Civilization’s culture and wisdom is to be found in a Science textbook. The horror that became known as “Eugenics” stands as testimony to the deficiencies of Materialism.
