Many people question the science in the Bible, in fact, many conclude that when the Bible talks about science, anthropology, biology it is nothing but a metaphor or some story that doesn't contain anything useful for science. These people believe that science and the Bible should be seperated, for the Bible talks about spiritual matters and science deals with naturalistic approaches.
But Creationism demands we take the Bible as it is written, that is, if it talks about the origin of the universe in a non-metaphoric way, we must use it in our science. Etc, including using the lineages used in the Bible to get an estimate for the age of the earth. As well as using lineages as evidence that points to the reality of the stories in Genesis.
In the next paper Dr. Humphreys predicts the strengths of magnetic fields for the planets. (before actual measurements were taken.

NOTE: In this paper, Dr. Humphreys makes predictions for the strengths of the magnetic fields for Uranus and Neptune, well before these magnetic fields were measured by the Voyager spacecraft. His predictions were "right on," whereas the predictions of evolutionists were not.

The reason behind all this is because;
quote:
I made the predictions on the basis of my hypotheses that (A) the raw material of creation was water (based on II Peter 3:5, "the earth was formed out of water and by water"), and (B) at the instant God created the water molecules, the spins of the hydrogen nuclei were all pointing in a particular direction.3 The tiny magnetic fields of so many nuclei would all add up to a large magnetic field. By the ordinary laws of physics, the spins of the nuclei would lose their alignment within seconds, but the large magnetic field would preserve itself by causing an electric current to circulate in the interior of each planet. By the same laws, the currents and fields would preserve themselves with only minor losses, as God rapidly transformed the water into other materials. After that, the currents and fields would decay due to electrical resistance over thousands of years.4 Not all creationists agree with my hypothesis that the original material was water, but all agree that once a magnetic field existed, it would decay over time.

The important thing to take away from this, is that the assumptions he used were all based on the reality and straightforwardness of the Bible. Where as evolutionists have non-biblical assumptions, which caused them to get the wrong values in this case.
Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator. In most modern scientists this belief has died: it will be interesting to see how long their confidence in uniformity survives it. Two significant developments have already appeared”the hypothesis of a lawless sub-nature, and the surrender of the claim that science is true. We may be living nearer than we suppose to the end of the Scientific Age.’
