Re: Lesson to be learned
For there are plenty of scientists who are creationists. And their "work" is of no less value than a scientists with an evolutionary stand. Both have the same evidence at hand, but their interpretations differ due to their different presuppositions.
Bunk! Truth is not relative.
If your premise is false your conclusions will also be false.
For example, take celestial mechanics. If two different "scientists" take the same orbital evidence and one makes "interpretations" based on a heliocentric solar system and the other based on a geocentric solar system is their "work" of the same value? Just different based on different presuppositions?
Along these lines how many major oil companies hire "young earth creationist" geoscience graduates? The reason why YEC are not in great demand, is that their presuppositions of a young earth is false and any work based on this premise will lead to costly failure.
