What good has the Theory of Evolution done that any Creation viewpoint could not also support?

Antibiotic resistance.

Or do you think facts are just facts and have no need of being interpreted and applied?

Why do you insist that a scientific theory must have beneficial applications? The purpose of scientific theories is to offer an explanation for observed phenomena within the natural universe. If good can come of the theory, then so be it, but there is no requirement that a theory have some "beneficial application", only that it be the best explanation for the given evidence.

Well, you see, he cannot discount the Theory of Evolution on factual grounds, so he takes the stance, "yeah, well, it doesn't have a practical benefit so we shouldn't be teaching it to the kids."
