How does knowledge of a several thousand year earth help us?

For people who believe that the earth is several thousand years old, I would like to hear your thoughts. Do you think that knowledge of a several thousand year old earth has led us to innovations or other advancements in society? If so, how?

Of course that applies equally to people who believe the Earth is flat!

I do not understand your question

Let’s say the world is actually several thousand years old. How has that “fact” helped society?

Has the idea opened doors to new schools of thought? Has the idea led to technological advances? Have other schools of thought relied on information that the world is several thousand years old?

Has it been useful in any way except as a basis for theme parks?

How does this matter?

Just like naziism is a result of evolution but does not have any effect on truth. This is the same thing

You didn’t answer any of the questions asked of you in this thread. Do you have a direct answer? I’m not talking about a comment that deflects the question, which is what you did.

Yes, Im not sure

I suppose biology would be more accurate because it wouldn't be based on a lie

That still doesn’t answer my question. I was asking what creationism has done for society so far, not what creationism could have done.

The age of the Earth (or any body) is a matter of fact. Such things don't have 'social utility' exactly. We don't ask of what use to society the discovery of Heliocentrism (a Sun-centred solar system) has been.

Knowledge of such things advances understanding, so in that respect it serves society by helping to make us all better informed - is that what you mean?

What do you mean by that? How do you think Nazism resulted from a process of evolution?

Throughout the period when the Nazi party was in power, children were methodically taught those intolerant values. That aspect of it had nothing to do with evolution.

In what way is biology based on a 'lie'?

Because it helps Ken Ham bill retirees out of their pension funds,  so he can build his water park  

He else is he spozed to raise that kinda money?

By telling the truth?

Get real 

Truth is truth.  Who cares if it helps science 

That's self-evident, so is also pretty meaningless: The Sun is the Sun; the planet Mars is the planet Mars; a teapot is a teapot, shall I go on?

Truth relates to statements regarding matters of fact. Our beliefs either relate to matters of fact or matters of opinion, which is when we describe them as subjective.

But it isn't anyone's job to 'help science' beyond working to establish what is or is not a matter of fact. Science is concerned with advancing our understanding of the natural Universe & how natural systems function. Beyond that, it has little use.

It's not a means of providing emotional comfort or spiritual enlightenment!

This is a satanically inaccurate claim, unless you mean that since humanity is the result of evolution, so is everything humanity does, which in a general sense is true.

The detailed sense in which it is not true is that while evolution is the unique cause for the genetic information in all organisms, the behaviour of organisms (including humans) is the result of the interaction of organisms with their environment which itself needs information to describe it, and  such sociological artifacts as Naziism are primarily the result of information of different types, especially the interaction and communication of those who created this insult to humanity. "Meme" is the term used to describe such non-genetic information which may reproduce for good or bad. The analogy with genetic information is somewhat loose.

If people think there is no God and they got here from random change then they might do anything. Anything that makes them happy, anything that makes sense(destroy inferior races so we can evolv faster), and what ever benefits them the most. 

Evolution is very bad for society
