Applications of Creationism?
A molecular geneticist proceeds to serve some cold truth to Kent Hovind. The argument is “Science regularly applies evolution towards new breakthroughs in science, which directly benefit everyone. What applications have their been from theories based on Creationist science?”It’s a very simple question, really. But think about that for a moment. Let’s suppose that Creationists are correct. What will they do with their theories that will benefit the Human race at large? It really seems that most of their theories are entirely self-serving: they develop theories based on creationism to further prove the validity of creationism. Science, on the other hand, develops theories based on evolution (Biology, anyone?) which are used to develop things such as vaccines, or synthetic materials, or foods that can be easily consumed and harvested.In this video, Kent bumbles around a lot and repeatedly tries to throw red herrings, deflect the argument, and even throws a “No True Scotsman” argument (in reference to the IRA not being true Christians). But he never provides any solid examples of how Creationist theory could benefit humanity.
