We have no more knowledge or understanding about anything after announcing it than we had before. It has no practical use whatsoever. It is simply replacing "don't know" with "God did it". Or even worse, replacing "do know" with "God did it".
That in itself isn't a valid objection. Just because a theory can't yet be flushed out to explain many things doesn't make it untrue. What makes it much less likely to be true is other theories more uniquely predicts the evidences that hasn't been found yet at the time when those theories were propounded. This builds confidence that these other theories really contains more accurate analogues of how the world really works at a deep level than "creation theory"
