Some of the greatest acts and most horrible things have been done in the name of God. It has united peoples, it has split them. It has been attributed to the birth of children. And it has been attributed to the greatest catastrophes. It was in keeping record of this that language became important. It has been one of the most important factors in the progression of the human race.
When the time of death is on a man, his mind goes straight to God.
It is there when your lonely, and to the desperate who have nowhere else to go.
Now what has science done that is greater than this?
A microwave oven? cars? Gameboy? Didn’t our ancestors laugh and cry? Win and lose? Dream in life?
They did not have that stuff.
So what does science have to offer for this?
Funny, I thought the question was, "Can you give us at least a dozen things that resulted from creationist research that have benefitted humanity? Actually, a couple should do." You ignored that and presented a screed of purported benefits of religion. Can you answer the question actually asked?

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist
