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.

I would say that perhaps creationism is irrelevant in most scientific endeavors. But, it certainly doesn’t hinder. One can believe in creationism and make all kinds of discoveries and applications in the biological and medical sciences...and have done so! Whether one believes in evolution or creation matters not at all regarding discovery and application. So in that sense, perhaps they are both irrelevant. The creationist and the evolutionist are both making scientific progress.
mt: 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.
amd: 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.
In your dreams.....
Tell that to Newton who developed the scientific method based on the reasoning that since God was a God of order, He created an orderly universe which could be examined and investigated by systematic observations.
The claim that believing in a supernatural cause of the universe automatically precludes the use of the scientific method in investigating it, is totally bogus.
The universe is able to be studied by the scientific method because the method works, not because of how the universe got here.
