Whereas working on the assumption that Creation happened biologists wouldn't have bothered to learn how germs and diseases evolve and spread, and learn how to develop cures. Oh well, shoot, going on the assumption that Creation occurred we would just have a bunch of people walking around happy to be ignorant and not bother learning about our bodies and the planet and our past and about everything else. In other words, to use the thread title...the assumption of Creation can cause stupidity.
I disagree with this. One doesn't have to abandon scientific research in order to believe in a Creator God.
No scientist worth his college tuition can go into studying anything if he already assumes he knows the answer. Assuming Creation in the study of biology, paleontology, geology, and so on is stupid. Without the proper studies of such fields we would be at a loss for the many things we have learned from them.
A lot of the time it doesn't prevent scientists from searching things though, and they still come out with useful results.
