saul-all of your examples are of testable,repeatable acheivements of the present.this is experimental science and hopefully you are not suggesting ,as some seem to have implied, that creationists are rejecting such.indeed they are involved in such.perhaps someone can demonstrate where creationist predictions/teaching has done any damage to such science.please dont give me that stuff about keeping kids in ignorance-i think thats what you call begging the question is,nt it?
on the other hand evolutionism does hinder useful science.it was not creationism that predicted/taught vestigual organs and junk dna but darwin dogma.

the assertion that scientists are beyond belief systems is a belief in itself.the more discerning at least recognize that

"our ways of looking at the world are strongly influenced by the social preconceptions and biased modes of thinking that each scientist must apply to the problem.the stereotype of a fully rational and objective "scientific method"with individual scientists as logical[and interchageable]robots is self serving mythology"
