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.

Creationism is a cardinal tenet of Christianity. Creationism is not a religion, it is an important religious belief of Christianity (that God is the creator of Mankind and of the Universe). To state that Creationism is not synonymous with Christianity is true in one sense of the term (as having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or phrase in the same language), however in the sense of Creationism being closely associated with Christianity, Creationism is absolutely synonymous with Christianity (see the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, third edition, 2005). And, it’s certainly true that Creationism is and has been closely associated with Christianity since at least 1611. You delude yourself if you think otherwise.

Creationism is useless. That is not to say Christianity is useless

That may be the condition of the upside down, bait & switch State of Confusion wherein you reside, but in the normal world to state that Creationism is useless, without further defining Creationism, is to state that Christianity is useless. Take responsibility for your advocacy.

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

A splendid exposition of Materialist dogma. A cowardly Materialism that hasn’t the courage to take responsibility for its advocacy and to articulate its most fundamental dogma: that nothing exists except matter and its movements.

Creationism is useless.

Which is to say that Christianity is useless. A corel demonstration of the fallacy of the smuggled concept.

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

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.
