I had offered Newtonian mechanics and flat earth theory as various levels of wrong. Flat earth theory was a late substitution for creationism but it turned out to be a poor one. I had intended to contrast Newtonian mechanics as wrong but a useful approximation, while I was thinking of flat earth as ridiculously wrong and not even useful… except that it is. I use the approximation of a flat earth all the time.
So let me rephrase the question to @marick: Wrong in the way flat earth theory is wrong or in the way creationism is wrong?
