Evolutionary science has a model that explains where bipedal apes came from.

And?

Maybe explaining the past. That's nice.

And of what benefit is that?

FWIW, creationists have an explanation of where man came from as well, so we're even.

But does creationism have an explanation for where all these extinct bipedal apes came from? Or a reason as to why God thought it necessary to create them? Or what function they served?

Also, unless you are a postmodern liberal, not all explanations are equivalent.

As I have repeatedly tried to impress upon you to obviously no discernible effect; the scientific explanation is of USE.

Creationism is of no use.

Nobody ever creates anything of value using creationism.

An accurate model that allows one to explain data and make predictions, the scientific method, creates value every day.

So “even” the two explanations are not.

One explanation leads to further knowledge and value.

The other leads nowhere, it is an intellectual dead end.

Which is perhaps one of the reasons why the more educated a person is the less likely they are to be a creationist.
