So I am assigning good/bad value to the fact that science attaches an accurate/misleading value (that I happen to agree with) to biblical creationism.
That doesn't change the fact that science, logic and mathematics all specialize precisely in using valuations (accurate/misleading, valid/invalid, true/false respectively) to winnow down the universe of potential statements to something manageable and useful.
They wouldn't be useful if they didn't do that.
