Let's see... I'm sure I can think of a few.
Antibiotic rotation
Gene Therapy
Genetically Engineered Crops
Pre-birth screening for various genetic disorders
Any medical treatment related to DNA or genetics
Any food science related to DNA or genectics
I'd like to put this in the context of my previous message. I don't think any of these scientific benefits derive from any science rejected by YEC's. What
*is* extremely notable, however, is that all these benefits were developed by scientists who accept the theory of evolution. For whatever reason, those who hold the creationist perspective never make these types of contributions.
I don't actually believe there's a cause-and-effect relationship involved in this case. I think that creationists don't make any contributions to science not because their perspective is wrong, but because they don't really do science. I think a YEC geneticist, were one to exist, would be as capable of contributing to the development of bird flu vaccines as any other geneticist. The genetic processes involved would not violate his belief that change across kind boundaries is impossible.
