“The model that it all happened miraculously is absolutely useless in terms of application and further discovery about the natural world.”

But neither does it hinder application and discovery, apparently. A lot of discoveries about the natural world, and applications from those discoveries, have been made by those who believe God created the world by miraculous means. Believing special, supernatural creation does not preclude discovery about the natural world — been going on for centuries. Perhaps I misunderstood your point.

It sure seems to hinder an understanding of biological processes, estimation of age of objects artifacts and species, and amazingly enough even acceptance that the Earth orbits the Sun.

Estimations based upon such claptrap as “hydroplate theory” will never have the accuracy of estimations based upon science.

People use science to discover things.

Creationism isn't useful at all in that regard.
