Ok guys I'm just curious here...can anyone give me a example of how believing in the theory of evolution has resulted in any great inventions or cures? What are they?

Thanks all :)

I'll bite. I'll try and come up with a few quick ones. Others can join in later.

Antibiotics, vaccines (polio, whooping cough, hepatitis B etc.), treatments (for cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, etc.), all diagnostic testing (HIV, hepatitis, cancer, pregnancy, etc.), pre-natal care (mother's habits & nutrition), treatments for premature births, gene therapies, adult stem cell treatments, and surgical techniques of all kinds.

This gets easier if I list things at high level because the details just go on and on.
