Every advancement in human knowledge and discovery and technological application has come from ascribing physical means to explain physical phenomena.

No progress whatsoever has ever come from ascribing supernatural means to explain physical phenomena.

Science is in the business of using physical means to describe physical phenomena; and that is why it is useful - while creationism is useless.

It is mainly useful for the learned man to see just how much complexity yet organization God has inter-woven throughout all of His Creation - therefore enticing the greatness of the need to worship, praise, glorify and humble oneself before Our Great and Blessed Benefactor rather than to build up pride in one’s own sight as he daily realigns his puny learning and understanding within a vast and awesomely complex yet symbiotic Earth and Universe!

That's obvious. Why in Sam Hill would a person even expect a *supernatural* event to shed any light on natural phenomena? It can't by definition.

No *technological* progress. But there's more to life than technology, isn't there? Who teaches us more about love...the poet or the endocrinologist?
