IMO you should put more emphasize on the predictions made by the hypothesis/theory. All the good scientific hypothesis/theories make testable predictions. If there is none, it is pseudoscience. Surely, the explanatory side is also important, but it is the predictions that make the killing. All the major theories became widely accepted only after their predictions were tested.

Creationism can provide explanation, but it can’t make any testable predictions, so its value is very low from scientific point of view. We can formulate it even more broadly, that it has no practical value.
