If you want to gain knowledge about the physical world - the scientific method is aces - nothing else comes close.

No kidding? Hoo wooda thunk? I’ve said the same many times (the latest being #271). So why are you telling me something you know I know?

The Judeo-Christian tradition is perfectly compatible, and actually quite congruent, with the scientific method.

That’s what Pope Benedict has said. However, I don’t think he would buy off on the idea that the Judeo-Christian tradition is useless.

What is not compatible or congruent with the scientific method is presupposition of supernaturalistic means to explain physical phenomena.

Is it, then, your contention that the God of Judeo-Christian tradition is not, as an article of faith, the Creator of Mankind and the Universe?

Eugenics is as warped a response to knowledge of DNA inheritance as Socialism is in response to knowledge of Free Markets.

Really?! Why aren’t we told these things? Oh, wait . . .

Creationism is not synonymous with the Christianity despite your obvious delusions otherwise.

Creationism is useless. That is not to say Christianity is useless - that is your dishonest take on my statement that you wish to misrepresent.

God is the creator of mankind and the universe, and as I pointed out to you previously - the argument is over the METHODS used.

The universe is perfectly compatible with being formed through natural laws. This is a useful model that leads to useful predictions and applications.

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

Science is of use.

Creationism is useless.
