For example, petroleum and mining engineers use an old earth and old universe model to predict where they should search for the resources they seek.

If the young earth and young universe model proposed by "Creation scientists" were true, one would expect them to propose a more useful model which would a) prove their theory and b) make a ton of money.

So far, crickets, nada, zilch, the cubic root of diddly squat.

So, it is no surprise that skeptics like myself are justified in dismissing "creation science" as one big pile of useless bs.
