Creationists hear this type of argument all the time, “What have creationists done for science?” I remember researching this a while back and coming across a list from www.creationinfo.com/list.htm. I wanted to simply list it out here in this blog for you to see. Feel free to go to the article and to the rest of their site to see what is happening over there.
